NASHUA, N.H. ? Republican presidential hopeful Jon Huntsman said Monday that his intense focus on New Hampshire is paying off and went after rival Mitt Romney in unusually sharp language.
But Huntsman, the former Utah governor, is still being met by some blank looks with the primary just eight days away.
Watching Huntsman enter a Nashua diner surrounded by television cameras, voter Jimmy Pacheco at first mistook the former Utah governor for New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch, and not a flicker of recognition crossed his face when he heard Huntsman's name. But by the time Huntsman reached his booth, the former truck driver greeted him like an old friend, complimented him on his "pretty wife" and said afterward that he probably would vote for Huntsman.
Noting that Huntsman is skipping Iowa's Tuesday caucuses and staking his hopes on a strong showing in New Hampshire's Jan. 10 primary, Pacheco said, "He cares about us."
Two minutes earlier, Pacheco had said he was leaning toward Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, who has long been the front-runner in New Hampshire.
After stopping by several Nashua businesses and restaurants, Huntsman told reporters that New Hampshire is a place where an underdog can come from behind and beat expectations.
"It happens time and time again here in New Hampshire. It's where message matters, it's where grass-roots politics is rewarded, and this is a state that is finely tuned to finding leaders and then sending them south," he said.
While he lags far behind Romney in polls, the usually positive Huntsman went after Romney by name while speaking to voters in Dover later in the day.
"You can do what the establishment wants you to do. You've got a good candidate in Mitt Romney," Huntsman said. "If you have 47 members of Congress supporting you, as he just announced today, you think you're going to be to do what needs to be done in terms of reforming Congress? No how, no way."
He also suggested Romney couldn't reform the banking system because he's receiving too many donations from Wall Street.
"We cannot afford a status quo presidency," Huntsman said.
At another restaurant, GOP voter Matt Dobski said he was closer to backing Huntsman after meeting him but remained undecided. He said he likes Romney but doesn't like the health care law he enacted in Massachusetts, finds former House Speaker Newt Gingrich too polarizing, and thinks Texas Rep. Ron Paul is too extreme.
Huntsman, in contrast, "is probably one of the only candidates who's been consistent in all his policies and what's needed to change America," Dobski said. "That's important because, right now, everybody's waffling to say what they need to say to get votes. ... So a guy like Huntsman could really come through and steal the show, if he gets the media exposure he needs."
After having the state to himself last week, Huntsman soon will have plenty of company. Only seven days separate the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary
Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann plan to head straight to South Carolina after Iowa and then return to New Hampshire for two debates just before the primary.
Huntsman downplayed those debates, saying there have been too many already.
"I think with each passing debate, they're less and less important," he said. "People see them more as show business."

In some not so shocking news, the San Francisco 49ers have sold out their divisional round playoff game. The team put a limited amount of tickets on sale at 10:00am this morning and they were scooped up fairly quickly. The 49ers announced at 10:46 that the tickets were sold out, although they were likely sold out a sold half hour before that.
Ticketmaster reportedly only had 900 tickets available this morning due to the mad rush by season ticket holders in previous days. STHs could get their own tickets heading into the weekend and then had a pre-sale yesterday. After that there simply was not enough left to meet the individual ticket buyer demand. Not a surprise.
If you want to attend the 49ers first playoff game in nine years, there are still options for getting tickets, but naturally you will need to pay a premium for those tickets. The NFL's official re-sale site is the NFL Ticket Exchange. The cheapest re-sale price listed is $196.
SB Nation has an affiliation with TiqIQ for purchasing tickets on the secondary market. Right now, the cheapest divisional round option is currently listed at $208. One upside to TiqIQ is they provide links to a variety of sites for purchasing tickets. If you use them and have any issues or questions, email me (ninersnation@gmail.com) and I can direct questions to the proper people.
Craigslist and Stub Hub are options as well if you want to conduct some more price comparisons.
One of the big questions heading into this game will be how many opposing fans are in town for the game. It is not surprising that people will look to unload face value playoff tickets for a significant premium. For season ticket holders, they could very well pay off their 2012 season tickets with playoff tickets. Obviously many of us would rather simply enjoy the playoffs, but if the economics of it make sense, selling the tickets happens.
As long as it's not like that Cowboys game, I'll survive. That was one of the more ridiculous experiences in recent memory.
