Liberals Wet Dream: Jon Huntsman

For some reason, the liberals in Nevada and elsewhere are trying to prop up the borderline pathetic campaign of Jon Huntsman. The Las Vegas Sun runs at least a weekly article praising Huntsman, someone who barely has any support anywhere in the country. Last time I heard, he had about a 2% of the vote, or in other words, Mr. and Mrs. Huntsman and his family.
Today, the Sun ran an article praising Huntsman. http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2012/jan/10/jon-huntsman-beginning-change-voters-minds-hopes-d/ This past Sunday, they ran another article.
But the Las Vegas Sun is trying to get the Nevada GOP to vote for Huntsman, like any GOP member would actually read or do anything the Sun wants them to do. Rule of the thumb for conservatives, do the opposite of the Sun and you can't go wrong.
I just wonder what the love affair the Sun has with the Huntsman campaign? Did Huntsman campaign bribe the Sun to make themselves known? Or maybe Huntsman is a liberal that is masquerading as a conservative or a moderate.
