As Jon Huntsman prepared to wrap up his latest campaign event in New Hampshire, he struck a confident note, despite his struggle to gain traction so far.“We are going to win in New Hampshire,” he told a packed house at a must-do “Politics and Eggs” breakfast on Thursday.
But Huntsman’s upbeat Thursday soon collided with the latest chapter of Huntsman campaign turmoil: In the middle of the candidate’s roundtable with the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce, The Union Leader broke the news that he’d dismissed his local campaign manager, Ethan Eilon.
This isn’t first exit from the Huntsman campaign. In July, campaign manager Susie Wiles stepped down from the top post. Her husband Lanny Wiles followed, after criticism for a string of logistical errors at Huntsman’s campaign kickoff event. Longtime family friend David Fischer also left the campaign and publicly detailed the behind-the-scenes drama.
