| Rocky Anderson, the former mayor of Salt Lake City, who knows both Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman well, joins us to assess the man who many see as the most formidable and electable candidate Obama could face. We discuss the inconsistencies between the former Jon Huntsman and the latest candidate to enter the Republican race for the presidential nomination. |

| Gustavo Arellano joins us. He writes the syndicated column, “Ask a Mexican,” and we talk to him about what he sees as a shining example of the Tea Party’s idea of a political paradise where taxes are low, there is no Obamacare and the rich are free to get richer and richer. The Tea Party’s perfect country, large areas of which are government free and ruled by those with the most money and guns, is of course, Mexico. |
