mr. cain. peter hart held late focus group that included republicans, democrats, and independence. when he asked which candidate interested them the most, be answered by a large margin was herman cain. you were there, mark. what is it about him that appeal to republicans? >> he is not a politician, that they liked the personal story, up from the bootstraps, the mother a cleaning lady, a product of morehouse college, probably the most distinguished all-male traditionally black college in the country. and his directness, and his optimism, that is what they like about the guy. >> the cain phenomenon. >> they saw herman cain as a people person. his likability factor is very high. a hard-working businessman, a potential problem solver, someone that people would like to have as their next-door neighbor. the rest of the candidates do not come through that way. they also talked about it. and what comes to mind -- talked about rick perry, and what comes to mind? bully. >> nina? >> he has been a fantastic salesman all his life. it sounds like a prayer, except it is for pizza -- he has a beau

hart. >> host: hi, mr. tauke, thanks for being here. so on thursday, the fcc had a significant vote on reforming the universal service fund. that's a mouthful and even more complicated to follow. i wanted to get your opinion on how you thought it all turned out after so many months of lobbying and so many years of talking about needing to do this. how do you think it all turned out? >> guest: it's almost decades of talking about this, and i think, first of all, the chairman and the commissioners deserve credit for taking on this issue, tackling it and getting it done. it's a big issue, very complex. and, essentially, we had system of subsidies under the old telephony world that continued as the old telephony world has died away. and the subsidies were, in many cases, being abused, they weren't targeted in a way that was helpful to consumers, so it really became almost an embarrassment for government as well as the industry. so i think that the fcc tacking this and addressing it was really important. from what i can tell and, of course,

mr. christie is good for three people. christie, himself, whose hart and soul and spleen weren't in. i don't think he would have wanted it. he would have been out there, would have been happy. he looks like a fellow who's very relieved speaking up there. this helps mitt romney also. mitt likes the hand and the cards that are out on the table. you don't want a new card dealt if that's the case, especially a wild one like christie. romney is satisfied. this is very good news for rick perry. i agree with the other fellows. i think perry has been written off too soon. i think he's going to get another shot at it. i think the tea party -- or let's take at two-thirds of the party that is, you know, dissatisfied with its choices and wants someone other than romney. they are almost going to have to move to perry because he alone has the legs and the money i think to go the distance against romney. i think he's going to get another look. so in a way, this is one of those things that was good for all three of them. perry and romney and christie alike. >> john heilman, you've been watching all
