Huntsman's 'branding' problem

We've already heard about the problems the news media has had in keeping Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman's name straight.

Now we hear that some people can't even keep his face straight.

New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand saw Huntsman in a hotel lobby and called out "Terry?" She thought Huntsman was Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe, former chairman of the Democratic National Committee.

I think the only chance of Huntsman winning a national anything will be if people confuse him for other people!

Being from Virginia, Glen, I can most definitely tell you Terry McAuliffe is not governor. Tim Kaine is. McAuliffe is only a candidate.
