In SC, Huntsman says Obama needed in union fight (AP)

COLUMBIA, S.C. ? GOP presidential candidate Jon Huntsman has officially filed his paperwork to run in South Carolina's first-in-the-South primary.

Huntsman appeared with his wife and five of their seven children to file the documents and pay a $35,000 filing fee at state Republican Party headquarters in Columbia.

The former Utah governor announced his candidacy Tuesday in New Jersey, and came to South Carolina a day later to file to run in the primary, saying he will focus on New Hampshire and South Carolina because he thinks he can win in those early-voting states.

Huntsman said during an earlier stop Wednesday that President Barack Obama must intervene in a national labor dispute over a Boeing plant being built in South Carolina or risk driving businesses away.
