Jon Huntsman has earned the highest-ranking Bush era endorsement of the 2012 Presidential election: former Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge. The down-and-out contender announced the huge endorsement earlier today in New Hampshire.
Huntsman's campaign wont gain anything from the Ridge endorsement, due to his false accusation that Bush's Defense team pushed him to raise the nation's terror alert level before the 2004 election to booster his bid for reelection, and the fact he has absolutely no political following outside Pennsylvania.
However, the Ridge endorsement does signal one thing: former Bush officials are starting to get involved and their support is being sought by Republican contenders, which means the party is not completely ignoring the 43rd President's two terms in office and his contributions to the movement.
What say you?
