Who will be the Republican Nominee for President (post Cain)

If Huntsman wants to be taken seriously he'll have to explain his wacky first name.

And what the fuck kind of name is "Mitt," anyway?

Middle name.  First name is Willard.

It's a name that is not as bad as Newt.

Why, because no H?

Yup.

His grandfather was a big Garfield fan.

Jon is short for Jonathan. I don't see what's unusual about it.

I don't think Jonathan is his borth name, though.  I think it's actually Jon.  Oh well, no big deal in any case.

I'm telling you, he's lucky his name's not Thummim or Nimrod.

Are unusual Mormon first names really the norm?  I don't know many Mormons, but I have a distant cousin who is Mormon and his name is Steve.  My mother in law worked for a Mormon guy for a while, and his name was Jack (and his wife was named Jill, srsly).

I've met some with "normal" names and some with pretty obscure biblical names. I wouldn't say it's the norm, no, but given what it could have been, complaining about "Jon" seems a bit overwrought.

Well, if he's willing to eradicate the mutant menace, I may have to consider voting for him.

Xavier's rich too.  Two for one.

I'd give McMillan my vote for this most excellent beard combined with the annoyed facial expression.

Talk about campaign finance reform!

I thought Yi was making a joke on how outlandish Jon is in a field with Newt, Herman, Mitt (or Willard) and Barack.  Didn't know Mormons went in for odd names though, I thought they'd be kind of Old Testament.

They're like the Old Testament names no one uses. "This is my son, Lot". That sort of thing.
