Jon Huntsman sees a rise in NH poll
A Suffolk University poll conducted this weekend shows Mitt Romney dropping from 43% to 33% while Huntsman moved up to 13% from his 8% during the same survey last week, putting him in third place behind Ron Paul at 20%.
Huntsman tried using the weekend’s double-header of debates to separate himself from the rest of the field as a less partisan player. At one point he even lectured fellow Republicans for demagoguery about gay people.
“Talking about gays, talking about unions, everybody’s got something nasty to say,” he told them during Sunday’s Meet the Press debate. “You know what the people of this country are waiting for? They want a leader who is going to unify, who is going to bring us together, because at the end of the day that’s what leadership is all about. It’s not about taking on different groups and vilifying them for whatever reason, it’s about projecting a vision for a more hopeful tomorrow.”
During the Saturday night debate on ABC, Huntsman made the case for civil unions even while others onstage, such as Rick Santorum, argued for invalidating existing marriages of same-sex couples and amending the U.S. Constitution with a ban on same-sex marriage that Santorum said would ensure gays and lesbians can’t adopt or foster children.
Huntsman also opposes same-sex marriage but has not signed onto antigay pledges that would require him to back a federal amendment. Huntsman has said he eschews pledges as a rule. Santorum signed pledges from the Iowa Family Leader and the National Organization for Marriage. Romney signed the NOM pledge.

Check out this sneak peek of Ryan Kwanten in Mambo’s upcoming 2012 ad campaign!
The 35-year-old True Blood hunk serves as “Mambassador” for the Australian surf and streetwear brand, which will be sold in the States starting this spring at Bon-Ton stores and BonTon.com.
“Money has never been a huge inspiration for me. I love playing [my True Blood character] for the six months of the year that I shoot it, but when I’m done shooting it I’m looking for another challenge, something that’s going to take me outside that box I feel comfortable in,” Ryan recently told the Daily Telegraph.
“Whether I fall on my feet or fall on my arse, I dunno,” he added. “You’ve got to take those risks.”
As for what fans can expect in the fifth season of the hit HBO vampire series, “If you figured we were controversial already, this is going to blow it off the hinges. It’s going to touch on a lot of fiery topics.”
GOP state senator to support gay marriage in Washington
Senator Steve Litzow is the first Republican from Washington to announce his support for the state’s gay marriage bill.
Here’s what he had to told the Seattle Times about his decision:
“I am a traditional Republican. When you think about gay marriage, it’s the right thing to do and it’s very consistent with the tenets of being a Republican — such as individual freedom and personal responsibility.”
His announcement follows last week’s decision by Gov. Chris Gregoire to introduce and push a law that affords gay and lesbian couples the same rights and benefits of marriage enjoyed by other couples.
If the legislation is approved — and it should be — Washington would become the seventh state in the country to act on this compelling civil-rights issue.
“Mitt, why not just tell the truth?”
At the GOP debate this past Sunday morning, GOP front runner contended he had not been involved in the ads that were run against Newt Gingrich in Iowa by the super PAC that supports Romney.
Romney went so far as to say “I haven’t seen the ads” – then 14 seconds later described the ads content in great details saying “the ad I saw…”
Now, which is it Mitt? You haven’t seen the ads? Or you have?
