What the "H" is Going On With the Huntsman Campaign

This is not an auspicious start:
Every detail of Jon Huntsman’s long-awaited campaign launch was meticulously planned, except of course for one minor detail: the misspelling of the candidate’s name.

Members of the media were handed a press pass that read “John Huntsman for President" -- adding an unnecessary H in the candidate's first name.

Huntsman’s staffers promptly scrambled to remove the passes from reporters before they caught the snafu. Today’s campaign kickoff at Liberty State Park is a nod to Ronald Reagan, who used the Statue of Liberty backdrop to launch his 1980 general election campaign.
Huntsman's appearance at the Statue of Liberty was meant to invoke Reagan, but all it reminded me of was Pete Wilson in 1996 who did the same thing. I expect Huntsman's campaign will go about as far as Wilson's did.
