Though they occupied a similar ecological niche?relatively moderate, handsome, rich, Mormon, former governors?Huntsman and Romney were more than just rivals. They didn't seem to like each other. Romney didn't let Huntsman's critiques roll off his back they way he did with other candidates who had a better chance of actually defeating him. In the back-to-back debates before the New Hampshire primary, they had a set of testy exchanges. In a rare unforced error, Romney denigrated Huntsman's service in the Obama administration. Huntsman took umbrage. When Romney didn't back down, Huntsman responded to moderator David Gregory: "This nation is divided, David, because of attitudes like that." It was one of Huntsman's biggest applause lines. In subsequent days it got hotter. Huntsman, who once said you didn't "need to run down someone's reputation" in a presidential campaign, said that Romney was unelectable and "likes to fire people."
