Today’s Knute Rockne/Sarah Palin award for tenacity and sticktoitiveness goes to… John Huntsman. Yes, John has decided to pack it in and endorse the Mitt. Huntsman narrowly beat out Italian Navy Medal of Honor winner Francesco Schettino for the award. Now Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrinch can battle it out to see who gets to be the “Anybody but Romney” candidate (oh, and there’s also Ron Paul, who is beloved by people who have never really listened to what he says).
