prayer breakfast a few years back. he talked directly about his criticism of obamacare. he is african-american, a former neurosurgeon. he has never held elected office which may be a weakness for him. he's very very conservative probably to the right of most of the republican party but he's polling fairly well in places like iowa. he'll make an explicit pitch to the tea party voters. >> let's look at carly fiorina now. >> carly fiorina will be probably the only female republican in this race. she is is former executive of hewlett-packard. she also has never held elected office which could be a weakness for her. one important thing to remember about carly fiorina, as the only woman she's made an explicit pitch even in her video discussing her run this morning, she made an explicit pitch showing a video of hillary clinton announcing her run and then her saying "we don't want career politicians." so as a woman she'll criticize hillary clinton and we'll say this isn't about gender this is about policy. >> she's probably going to be touting her management skills

having been with hewlett-packard for so many years. let's take a look at one other person mike huckabee. we hear he is going to jump in the race. what are his strengths and weaknesses. >> he'll announce in hope, arkansas. he did very well with evangelical voters in 2008. he won the iowa caucuses but petered out later in the race. he will definitely be reaching out to social conservatives and evangelicals. he's a very powerful speaker. a former preacher. he'll have competition from people like rick santorum and ted cruz. >> do you think he'll have fund-raising problems? >> a lot of these candidates have super pacs where they can race race. mike huckabee wasn't around. but he'll be able to raise money from outside sources. >> a lot of different people competing. >> it's very crowded.
