I’m surprised Jeff Lord invoked The Monkees in response to Jon Huntsman’s now cancelled “Ticket to Ride” to South Carolina when there are plenty of Beatles references at his disposal.
After all, Huntsman bought a “Ticket to Ride” to South Carolina because he thought “Tomorrow Never Knows.” Indeed, the biggest newspaper in South Carolina thought Huntsman had “Something” to offer and could help the nation “Come Together.” But campaigning proved to be a “Hard Day’s Night” “Eight Days a Week”and his father wasn’t forthcoming with the “Help” he needed. At that point, Huntsman had to recognize he had no constituency in the Republican Party, was the “Nowhere Man” of the GOP race. So he will soon tell the world “I’m a Loser” and throw his support to Romney.
And with that I shall “Let it Be” and let Ringo tell him “Good Night.”

Joe Sixpack told Jon Huntsman, "IF I NEEDED SOMEONE to be my candidate, it sure wouldn't be you."
Huntsman begged him, "DON'T PASS ME BY! LOVE ME, DO!"
Joe said, "TELL ME WHY I should vote for a guy who's gone out of his way to pander to liberals in the media."
Alas, Huntsman had NO REPLY.

Its a shame John Edwards didn't invoke Elvis during his failed 2008 presidential bid. We'd still be pulling up references, including (in reference to his arraignment) "Surrender" and post-trial "Jailhouse Rock".

Advisors tell Mitt Romney, "BABY, YOU"RE A RICH MAN, and you've campaigned ACROSS THE UNIVERSE, so you're bound to win!"
Meanwhile, Mitt realizes, "All the money in my campaign chest may get me the nomination, but it CAN'T BUY ME LOVE."
Rick Perry says, "Well, the campaign trail is a LONG AND WINDING ROAD, but at least you're in the lead. I'M A LOSER, just like MICHELLE Bachmann, even though I promised not to let the TAXMAN take much of people's hard earned wages."
Ron Paul, meanwhile, tells the NRA that HAPPINESS IS A WARM GUN," while simultaneously telling the young crowd "GIVE PEACE A CHANCE."
