Huntsman Campaign to
Boycott Nevada Debate; Hold "FITN Town Hall" in New
Hampshire
Manchester, NH - Jon Huntsman for President campaign manager Matt
David issued the following statement:
"Next Tuesday, Governor Huntsman will boycott the Nevada presidential debate,
and instead hold a 'First-in-the-Nation' Town Hall Meeting in New Hampshire, to
discuss his bold plans to create jobs and reform America's foreign policy for
the 21st Century.
"While Mitt Romney's campaign has tried to game the system by encouraging
Nevada to move to an earlier date, Governor Huntsman is sticking up for the
Granite State.
“We call on all other campaigns to join us, avoiding typical hypocritical
politics by paying lip service to New Hampshire, while campaigning in
Nevada.
“New Hampshire plays a vital role in our nominating system in that -- unlike
any other primary -- it gives voters the opportunity to engage substantively
with the candidates on the myriad issues facing our country.
"To that end, this town hall will provide Granite Staters a substantive
alternative to yet another in a long string of sound-bite dominated
debates."
