Bag’s Take-Away:
Initially, the media seemed to like Huntsman as the reasonable conservative. (Heh, no wonder he never got off the ground.)
Now, he’s become this object of ridicule, framed with this big microphone and teeny platform, talking to nobody. And, doesn’t it look like the supporter on the left is cracking up over how ineffectual he is? Poor man’s fallen victim to the more immediate media framing: America hates losers.
