we are going to be witnessing what is basically a presidential politics baptism for jon huntsman. this is going to be his first stop in this state, this crucial primary state in the race for 2012 and the former ambassador to china and governor of utah is not just tegts the presidential waters up here, tj, he is going for a long swim. he is going to be making about a dozen stops over the next five days and it comes at crucial time for the gop. it is no secret that many republicans are a little uneasy about the current slate of candidates and why a lot of washington experts are looking at jon huntsman right now as sort of the tantalizing pros, sort of the flavor of the moment, full, not only is jon huntsman telegenic, he is also very campaign salve vism he is also a moderate and that might be a tough pill to swallow for a lot of republicans. huntsman in the past has supported things like cap in trade legislation, same-sex unions for couples. huntsman worked for president obama as the ambassador to china, just stepping down a few days ago that might be the toughest hurdle for republi

jon huntsman is now toying with it. i noted he'll have lunch with the george h.w. bushes in ken kennebunkport. does that help or hurt? >> in our circles having lunch with george h.w. bush is a matter of little notice. had he been having lunch with george w. bush who initiated t.a.r.p. and got some of the blood boiling among our activists i think it would be severely noticed. jon huntsman, we don't know him well but we do know that he has a bit of a record of supporting things like t.a.r.p. and so forth and that's going to always be problematic with our activists. >> does it hurt him that he worked for president obama as ambassador to china? >> no. i would think most people would understand that when the president called upon him to serve the united states, we just watched a very good discussion on foreign policy and the thing that struck me was absolutely zero domestic politics in the zugs. so i think our folks are sophisticated enough to understand that you rise above politics when you deal on behalf of your country internationally. >> let me turn to you newt ging

jon huntsman. a month ago he worked for president obama. now he's trying to sell himself as the best republican to take on his former boss. down the hill? man: all right. we were actually thinking, maybe... we're going to hike up here, so we'll catch up with you guys. [ indistinct talking and laughter ] whew! i think it's worth it. working with a partner you can trust is always a good decision. massmutual. let our financial professionals help you reach your goals. >>> i'm not shy about admitting i'm partial to the retail politics that make iowa and new hampshire so special. sure, the candidates still run too many nasty tv ads, and they use other tactics that give campaigns, well, a sour taste. but they also here have to spend time in small settings, answering questions from everyday voters, like at the home we visited this morning in hancock, new hampshire. the man in the middle there, jon huntsman, the former republican governor of utah, and until a month ago president obama's ambassador to china. he's soft-spoken, polite, seems to think h

>> jon huntsman is out grabbing headlines in new hampshire. you're not grabbing headlines because a lot of people don't know who he is if you look at the poll numbers, but he served as ambassador to china under oba obama. he's selling himself as a fresh face in the field, and he made his announcement in new hampshire. so while romney is down here, kind of under the radar, jon huntsman is trying to build up his profile in new hampshire. >> listen, shannon, tell us ability the folks you're covering. what about tim pawlenty? what about the focus of the candidates you're focusing on? >> many are trying to attract more buzz and attention. and pawlenty is officially going to throw his hat in the race on monday. he's been exploring a run, testing the waters, but he'll make it official on monday. he'll join, as you mentioned earlier, three others who have already done that, four now with herman cain, but you have newt gingrich who is officially running, the former governor of new mexico, gary johnson, who is officially running. also texas congressman

it's not jon huntsman. we just heard that rick santorum is getting in the race, but we don't know about michele bachmann, for example, and this may be sarah palin's way of getting somebody to get in that race or it may be her way of saying you know what? as she the mainstream media here, this may be her way of saying guys, you were saying i wasn't running but i am going to surprise you. what we do know is she better mick a decision quickly. >> because some staff members and campaign fund-raising events, you've got to start doing that. >> you've got to raise money. >> she has 100% name recognition already. rick santorum or jon huntsman, everybody knows who sarah palin is. >> there's going to be a two-hour movie released in iowa, a biopic about her life, a very positive one we're told. this could be her own way of rolling out a campaign. >> if anyone can delay and still get in, it's sarah palin. >> she freezes the race. by the way, if she gets in, mitt romney should be happy because it freezes the race. and i

but jon huntsman is very different. president obama is not only his former boss but he says a lot of nice things about him. when i had time to interview the governor, that's where i started. i've been at this a while and i don't remember any republican running for the nomination who is on record of saying that the current president has brilliant analysis and honored would work with hillary clinton. how do you get conservative republicans to think, this guy is my guy? >> well, occasionally you right thank you notes which i think is an important tradition. i also believe in civility. i believe we ought to have a civil discourse. you're not going to agree with people 100% of the time but you can compliment them on it. we need to come together on the issues that matter. i believe in civility and in complimenting people when they do a good job. >> reporter: and t.j., it's quite interesting. you heard him that he believes in complimenting people. he will have sharp differences but he wants to do it politely. and he doesn't li

jon huntsman, none of them felt they missed a great opportunity. >> the major candidates were pawlenty and rick. they have a chance of being on the ticket. santorum from pennsylvania is reasonable choice for vice president on that ticket. pawlenty could end up on the ticket in the number two or number one spot. how did the pawlenty versus santorum debate go? >> i don't think i was watching that. they both were the most polished people in some respects. rick santorum was the only one on the stage that was a fox news contributor so he was quite good at answering these questions. he's pretty good on the sump. pawlenty, i think at this point, he's kind of where romney was. he benefits inch by inch by showing up for everything. when i talked to republican legislatures, they appreciated the presence of ron paul and johnson and cain. we can be dismissive about cain and wonder why republicans like him, but before the debate, republicans were saying watch out for him. after the debate, republicans were saying we were right about him. his answers were glib, but pawlenty and santorum don't excite
