While Jon Huntsman may be holding back from slinging attacks at his fellow GOP contenders, his daughters are not. 
 
 Throughout the Republican primary debate in New Hampshire Tuesday night, Huntsman's three oldest daughters -- Liddy, Abby and Mary Anne -- have been tweeting under the name @Jon2012Girls, making fun of the other Republicans and defending their dad. 
 
 Some of their tweets: 

 Amid the fog of war during the debate, a string of tweets from Jon Huntsman's daughters went by that I'm just catching up to — and they're interesting, to put it mildly. 
 
 Huntsman's daughters, who are on Twitter under the handle @jon2012girls, made jokes about going to Las Vegas, flirted with Mitt Romney's son Tagg and tweeted at Ari Fleischer, who was an adviser for former President George W. Bush. 
 
 "@tromney Want to tailgate for the next debate? Vegas wild. We'll bring the godfathers, you bring the diet coke," read one tweet, which was followed by, "@tromney Mormon tabernacle choir can DJ." 
 
 Both Huntsman and Romney are Mormons, although the former Utah governor has expressed a universalism about his faith. 
 
 But there were other tweets: 
 
 "@AriFleischer we had an intervention with dad to just be himself tonight...glad he finally took our advice," was one tweet. 
 
 Another tweeet, about Herman Cain's so-called 9-9-9 plan, which their dad joked during the debate was, he thought, the cost of a pizza, read, "Just picture the Von trapp family eating pizza and singing about numbers. Maybe we will have a Romney bro duet." 
 
 When Romney talked about a China trade war, the daughters — whose dad was the U.S. ambassador to China — tweeted, "How does Romney know anything about China? He's only been there once and that was for the Olympics. Panda express doesn't count." 
 
 The tweets were a bit more over the top than one usually sees from someone connected to a presidential campaign. A Huntsman spokesman didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. 

 If you’re unfamiliar with the @jon2012girls Twitter account, here’s your quick catch-up: it’s run by former Utah Governor Jon Hunstman‘s three daughters: Liddy, Abby, and Mary Anne. Before Tuesday night’s debate, the account had been somewhat tame and reserved — the typical re-tweets of Huntsman praise, reminders of their dad’s CNN appearances, and comments directed at basketball star J.J. Redick. But during Tuesday night’s debate, the Huntsman Daughters began to find a voice, asking why nobody had created a song about 9-9-9, and picking on Mitt Romney‘s knowledge about China (Huntsman, who is fluent in Mandarin, was the U.S. Ambassador to China from 2009 to 2011): 
 
 “How does Romney know anything about China? He’s only been there once and that was for the Olympics. Panda express doesn’t count.” 
 
 The trio didn’t stop there. They later sent tweets to Tagg Romney, Mitt’s son, asking him if he wanted to tailgate — Vegas-style — before the next debate. They suggested the Mormon Tabernacle Choir could DJ and the girls even offered to buy the pizza: 
 
 “We’ll bring the godfathers, you bring the diet coke.” 
 
 Tagg has, as far as Twitter goes, yet to respond. But he should know this: according to Ashley Parker’s profile of the daughters in Sunday’s New York Times, even though they were raised Mormon, “they will have a glass of wine from time to time.” 
 
 With over 3,900 followers, the Hunstman Daughters have a long way to reach last election cycle’s outspoken daughter — Meghan McCain, who currently boasts 117,000-plus — but if they keep the feed more in line with last night’s pop culture tomfoolery (along with the antagonizing of Tagg Romney, which is actually pretty funny), and do less of the earlier, “Dad’s on with Wolf Blitzer in five minutes” style, they may have a chance to challenge McCain’s numbers.
– Jon Huntsman's daughters seemed to have raised their Twitter profile in a big way following last night's debate. (Sample Politico headline: "Huntsman girls gone wild".) That might be stretching things a bit, but Mary Anne, 26, Abby, 25, and Liddy, 23, clearly had some fun, notes the Huffington Post. Some of their tweets at Jon2012girls: To Mitt Romney's son: "Want to tailgate for the next debate? Vegas wild. We'll bring the godfathers, you bring the diet coke," followed by, "Mormon tabernacle choir can DJ." After their dad's quip about Herman Cain's 9-9-9 plan sounding like the price of a pizza: "Just picture the Von trapp family eating pizza and singing about numbers. Maybe we will have a Romney bro duet." "How does Romney know anything about China? He's only been there once and that was for the Olympics. Panda express doesn't count." With about 4,000 followers, they're nowhere near Meghan McCain status (117,000), "but if they keep the feed more in line with last night’s pop culture tomfoolery (along with the antagonizing of Tagg Romney, which is actually pretty funny)," that could change, writes Nando Di Fino at Mediaite.
