It's official: Jon Huntsman has dropped his bid for the 2012 Republican nomination and has endorsed Mitt Romney.
Sadly, due to a lack of interest in the candidate that most voters didn't even know was running, coverage of his announcement and endorsement was sadly lacking, so let's just rely on some of Huntsman's recent praise of Romney:
- In October, Huntsman called Romney a "perfectly lubricated weather vane on the important issues of the day," who "has been missing in action in terms of showing any kind of leadership."
- "There’s a question whether he’s running for the White House or the Waffle House."
- Campaigning in New Hampshire this month, he told voters, "Governor Romney enjoys firing people. I enjoy creating jobs."
- He told ABC News ... that "the American people, the voters, are going to have a hard time finding, I think, a gut level trust when it comes to someone who has been on so many sides of major issues."
Goodbye, Jon, we hardly knew ya ...
