Todo indica que los esfuerzos de Jon Huntsman se concentrarán en New Hampshire, y que argumentará que es el presidenciable más elegible y el más temido por la Casa Blanca.
(...) Huntsman is expected to make his perceived electability a centerpiece of his platform.

No sé demasiado de Huntsman pero el haber pertenecido a la Administraccion Obama le pasará factura de cara a unas hipotéticas primarias. Al igual que a Romney le pasará factura el llamado "RomneyCare".
