1st huntsman resigned from governer of utah for it, now he's aiming for 2012 president election, obviously he believes the current position helps raising his profile a lot.

now the latest news is obama going to nominate commerce secretary locke to succeed him....

how different US politics system is from china's

bo xilai went from commerce secretary to a local governer (chongqing), next step is reaching top ladder, no way he would consider the position of china's ambassador to US!

and how unimportant of china's foreign ministry is now! the highest official in charge dai bing guo is not even a member of poliburo (25 people)
