point. our concern has just been we want to keep an eye on this reinvention tour. it is interesting. interesting times. wayne and jim and boris, i m sorry. we are out of time. thanks to all of you. i m sure we will have many more opportunities to talk about the 2012 race. probably later this hour. the judge is not happy with lawyers in the casey anthony trial. suggesting he may start the whole trial over again. will the scare tactics used in the latest tobacco warnings work? in here, the planned combination of at&t and t-mobile would deliver our next generation mobile broadband experience to 55 million more americans, many in small towns and rural communities, giving them a new choice. we ll deliver better service, with thousands of new cell sites. for greater access to all the things you want, whenever you want them. it s the at&t network. and what s possible in here is almost impossible to say.
couple of weeks. we will get a good introduction to him. it has to have a spark. you need to get out there and make yourself heard right away. right now, there is a vacuum. jonathan has been saying that. there is a vacuum. the political market wants me in. go fill that vacuum. make the gop electorate excited about the candidate. it did not happen in the beginning. maybe it will happen in the next couple of weeks. wayne holland, let me ask you. as the head of the democrats in utah, is what we are seeing the candidate we are likely to get? yeah. the opening part of the speech was classic jon huntsman. he is a natural diplomat. obviously, that is one of the reasons president obama selected him for the china post. he isç not somebody that will t detailed into policy at this
how he thinks he is a better alternative and president obama. that appeals to new hampshire voters. not sure if it appeals to the activists. he was, of course, obama s ambassador to china. here is what david axelrod had to say about him earlier. take a listen.ç this was in the fall of 2009 about what the president was doing. he was encouraging on health care. he was questionable about what was go on in the party. you would think he would wait until 2006. well, wayne, as axelrod, you knew huntsman. is he similar to obama? would you vote for him? when he tapped huntsman for the ambassadorship for china,
now. let s bring in wayne holland and jim vandehyde. jon huntsman has an uphill battle if you look at polls. he finished dead last in the msnbc news poll. how big a threat is he for the nomination? you can safely call that is uphill fight at 1% in the polls. there is no doubt he comes in relatively unknown. there is a poll out that about one-third of republicans are aware of him. that means there is a tremendous amount of room for growth. certainly some folks in the press and people like the profile of the candidate as he is presenting himself. today, can he catch on with conservative activists looking for a fighter who can go toe-to-toe with president barack obama? that is not what you will see from huntsman. he will talk about civility and having a respectful tone.
