Jon Huntsman came in dead last in Iowa last night, but he’s focusing his attention on New Hampshire, saying: “New Hampshire loves an Underdog!” But what I was wondering is, which Underdog does New Hampshire love: the TV series cartoon one, or the live-action CGI movie one? And what does this have to do with the Republican primary anyway?
Maybe what Huntsman meant is that New Hampshire loves popping pills, and that’s why they love Underdog; which would make them fans of the 1960s cartoon TV series Underdog, because that Underdog gets his super powers from popping an “Underdog Super Energy Pill” (known these days by its trade name: Ritalin). And it would make sense if they were into popping pills up there: it’s pretty boring, and it’s cold all the time, so they probably love popping pills, getting high, and imagining they have superpowers like Underdog, saying: “There’s no need to chill, I’m taking my Underdog Pill!”
I'm surprised at Jon Huntsman for thinking such a thing about New Hampshire! Shame on him!

And here’s the Wikipedia page on Underdog, where you can read all about Underdog’s pharmaceutical propaganda if you’re unfamiliar with it (It’s around the middle of the page, under the heading: “Superpowers”):
