Santorum joins Huntsman to boycott Nevada campaign events
Source: The Ticket

How far are candidates really willing to go to boycott Nevada?

Presidential candidate Rick Santorum this weekend joined Jon Huntsman in canceling his Nevada campaign events this week. Both candidates had announced that they would not participate in Tuesday's debate in Nevada to protest the state's decision to move up its caucus vote to a much earlier spot on the primary calendar. Santorum spokesman Hogan Gidley announced the reasoning behind his boss's decision in a statement:

While Senator Santorum appreciates the hospitality of the people of Nevada, he is concerned that Nevada's decision encroaches on Iowa and New Hampshire's election calendar and may push them into the Christmas season. Senator Santorum continues to hold out hope that cooler heads will prevail and Nevada will simply move their caucus back a few days to allow a semblance of sanity to be reinstated into the primary process. Once this occurs, Senator Santorum greatly looks forward to returning to the Silver State.

3. Why now, why Nevada?

Where were all the protest when Florida moved their primary up and started this stampede.

Oh, well, I don't care how the Party of Ruin self-destructs.

4. LOL! They're both nonentities anyway, prez candidate-wise, so this is the best they can do,
pretend they're the ones doing the rejecting. The one known as Frothy Substance especially is pathetic.

9. This is actually a fairly sensible statement from Santorum.
Stopped clocks and all.

Now I'll find out if that subject line is by itself enough to get me tombstoned....

Mitt won't be sacked and he will be able to throw long bombs all day long.
It'll be like watching Florida International play Alabama.

I'll bet you can't tell it's football season, huh?

LoL

19. Curiouser and curiouser.
An attempt to get publicity? I dare say this is the most attention Mr. S. and Mr. H. have gotten from the media in quite some time.
