President 2012: Does Jon Huntsman Have No Choice But to Dump John Weaver?

+++++Update+++++

John McCain and John Weaver

This is an updated post from this morning and I ask the question, especially after this piece from Matt Lewis.

Jonathan Martin’s terrific piece on the unraveling of Jon Huntsman’s presidential campaign has garnered deserved attention. But one quote — from Huntsman’s long-time confidant David Fischer regarding chief strategist John Weaver — struck me as especially noteworthy.

Fischer said that one of the reasons he was going public with his story was because, “Weaver’s history in past campaigns is when they don’t work out, for whatever reason, he attacks the candidate.”

Put in historical context, Fischer’s worries may not be absurd.

Read it all and then answer the question: Does Jon Huntsman Have No Choice But to Dump John Weaver?
