Presidential Jon Huntsman affirmed his faith in his campaign manager John Weaver after a Politico story highlighted bitter accusations from a disgruntled Huntsman friend and campaign aide John Fisher.
“John Weaver is a critically important part of our team,” said Huntsman to reporters, “He’s our strategist, has been from day one, and he will be. He’s a great friend and he’s indispensable to the campaign.”
When asked whether Fischer is still his friend, Huntsman said, “Let’s just say that this campaign is moving in the right direction that will allow us to win New Hampshire.”
A PPP poll released in July showed that Huntsman was tied with Pawlenty in New Hampshire at 6%
