Jon Huntsman - Jon Huntsman has spent most of his time and resources in New Hampshire, but struggles to break into the double digits in the polls. He downplayed the key endorsement rival Gingrich received from the Union Leader earlier this week, saying it shows how “fluid” the race still is. “I mean, a month ago, for Newt Gingrich to have been in the running to capture the Union Leader endorsement would have been unthinkable,” Huntsman said in an interview on Fox News Sunday.(Photo: REUTERS/Jonathan Ernst)

Rick Perry will receive the endorsement this week of Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio, who is known for his controversial, hard-line stance on illegal immigration, and the two will reportedly hit the campaign trail together in New Hampshire, Fox News reports.
