MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, a potential Republican presidential candidate in 2012, tells college graduates in New Hampshire that the nation must set aside its bickering in the name of patriotism.
Huntsman, who just stepped down as President Barack Obama's ambassador to China, also said at Southern New Hampshire University's commencement on Saturday that the U.S. should not resign itself to China's growing influence.
Huntsman is on his first campaign-style trip to early-voting New Hampshire as he considers jumping into the White House campaign.
