And while every campaign rollout comes with logistical challenges, especially in the 24-hour news cycle, there were an unusually high number of mishaps for a rollout for a candidate whose campaign-in-waiting has been prepping for months.

There were the press cards that misspelled the candidate’s first name - there’s no “H” - and journalists directed initially to the wrong plane. The Statue of Liberty, the sole reason for declaring in New Jersey was - thanks to riser placement - not visible in the TV shots.

All the cable networks cut away from Huntsman mid-speech thanks to his low-octane delivery and content. And the campaign’s website wasn’t listed on the placard affixed to the podium.

And some supporters who came all the way to meet him complained afterward that the candidate didn’t stick around to shake hands with actual voters - he departed the dais, then went straight to a Sean Hannity interview, and then right to his car, with a scrum surrounding him.

Even the website had misinformation. The campaign’s website listed the state where Huntsman declared as New York, instead of the Garden State.

It also contained, briefly, according to several reports, a headquarters telephone number of 123-456-7890 - a placeholder, apparently, until the site went live, but which wasn’t caught.

These types of errors are compounded in the digital age, when campaigns use social media and their websites to reach large groups of supporters - and Huntsman is clearly trying to appeal to a younger set.

The day ended with the Huntsman campaign bus getting pulled over for crossing a double-yellow line while trying to avoid traffic as it drove from New Hampshire back to New York. The good news, according to POLITICO’s Kasie Hunt, was that the candidate wasn’t aboard.
