Jon Huntsman for USA Today

I spent a couple of hours on Saturday following around former Republican Gov. Jon Huntsman, Jr., of Utah, as he toured several businesses in the greater Manchester, N.H. area. I had a schedule of where Huntsman would be at what time and was fortunate when they made an unplanned stop at a Harley dealership. Saturday was my second time working with Susan Page, USA Today's Washington Bureau Chief and often guest-host on The Diane Rehm Show on NPR. We worked together covering Mitt Romney in March and she was just as awesome to work with this time around.

On Sunday, I tagged along with friend (and Concord Monitor photo intern), Neil Blake, on his assignment to photograph Huntsman at a house party. I figured there would be better access, real moments and he would be more apt to dropping his guard. Both Saturday and Sunday were my days off but I'm trying to immerse myself in as much as I can related to the 2012 primaries.
