first question, john huntsman passes on the debate to campaign in new hampshire.eira, john huntsman was only relevant to political pundits and members of the media with too much time on their hands. obviously he's trying to upstage his competitors in new hampshire by not participating in the las vegas debate. the problem is based upon his past debate performances, how will anyone know if he's there or not? >> chris? >> well, there are a couple things -- i think what he's doing is demonstrating he has a good grasp of the obvious. the fat lady has sung at this point. so it would have been better for him to issue a statement saying i'm out of the race, because at the end of the day he's done, stick a fork in him. >> patricia? >> well, this is what john huntsman needs to do, but it is not the beginning of the end. it is really over for jon huntsman. he's polling at zero percent. it's mostly people who don't know what the question is. i think it also ended when he gave his speech in front of the statue of liberty. he doesn't have the charisma to get up there and doesn'

john huntsman at 1%. i mention the numbers because there is a story inside the washington examiner the cain train hopes to follow the obama path in iowa indicating that barack obama was able to begin to resonate in november and december in iowa and beat hillary clinton four years ago 10 weeks before the iowa caucuses. is this a similar strategy that would work for herman cain? >> i think it definitely could. these voters are not decided yet. 59% said they are willing to pick a different first choice. and quite a few, 15%, have no first choice at this point. so, the argument could be made that the support for herman kraeufpb is pretty -- cain is pretty soft but iowans think if a candidate comes to the state and lets them ask questions they tend to be willing to look them over and get behind them. for cain to pull to of that obama-like strategy he would have to invest time here. think that people are willing to look at herman cain, but they are not locked in behind him yet. he would really have to be here f
