"Jon Huntsman's Rising Star" +
  0:54 web video from Oct. 26, 2011.

[Music] (audio from The Daily Rundown)
Male Broadcaster (audio): Jon Huntsman, Jackie. 
Female Broadcaster (audio): Right.
Male Broadcaster (audio): Actually showing a pulse...
Female Broadcaster (audio): Double digits...
Male Broadcaster (audio): ...in New Hampshire.  The Suffolk Poll showing him at 10-percent ahead of Rick Perry...
Female Broadcaster (audio): ...And you know we're going to see more of him now because of this.

(Clip from Morning Joe): You're no longer the asterisk man.  That's the way you want it...
Huntsman: You don't want to flame out.  You want to be a rising star; you don't want to be a shooting star.

Huntsman (on Town Hall): We can rebuild our manufacturing muscle in this country.  We can create jobs and get back to where this country was great.

Colbert: Are we at war with China?
Huntsman: Uh.  Based on this interview, we could end up there...(laughter, applause)

Huntsman on FOX: I want a foreign policy that is led by economics.  I want this country to lead by economics, free trade, investment, international economic engagement in a way that plays back to job creation and strengthening our core.  We have totally underutilized the economic lever in international relations.  I want to lead by economics.

Notes: An Oct. 26 fundraising email from campaign manager Jon Huntsman stated:

Jon Huntsman is the rising star -- not a shooting star. Since day one he’s been fighting for real solutions like rebuilding our manufacturing base and leading with a foreign policy focused on free trade, investment and economic engagement. 

You won’t hear Jon Huntsman discuss birtherism like Rick Perry or put his finger to the wind to take a position like Mitt Romney. 

That’s because he’s a principled leader with a plan for our future.

He’s had a good week in the media and he’s been meaningfully connecting with voters wherever he goes. I encourage you to watch the video above to see some of the highlights and then share it with at least five of your friends.
