Huntsman girls go rogue

Sunday Telegraph:

Jon Huntsman may be limping along at the back of the pack in the Republican presidential race with a moderate message that has failed to ignite.

But the former ambassador to China does have one surprise hit of the campaign season - a trio of tweeting twenty-something daughters.

The mischievous and unfiltered mixture of wit and sarcasm that they have deployed on social media to promote their father's long-odds bid for the White House has often unnerved the candidate himself, never mind his aides.

But it has turned them into celebrities in their own right, with a growing following of admirers in an era when most campaigns preach strict message control and vetted talking points.

Liddy, 23, a recent graduate hoping to break into fashion, Abby, 25, who works in television and public relations, and Mary Anne, a 26-year-old piano teacher, are volunteering full-time for the Huntsman team.

But the stylish siblings - the eldest of seven children - have proved at their most effective when going rogue via their shared Twitter account as @Jon2012girls.

Their irreverent messages and photographs on the micro-blogging site have revealed campaign insights, such as the heated toilets in the waiting room for the satirical Colbert Report television show, and their unenthusiastic reaction when the father moved his campaign base from Florida to New Hampshire ("Thanks Dad").

If you check out the photo at the above link, you can see they are really attractive besides being witty.  They even challenged the Romney boys to a debate in Vegas.  They are probably having more fun with the campaign than their dad who has failed to gain any traction so far.
