You're seeing a market movement right here, there's no question about it," Huntsman said, beaming. "I can feel the surge on the ground. It's very real. … It's that wave."

"They change with each passing hour," he said with a huge smile as reporters swarmed him outside the coffee shop. "They're moving up and up and up. We'll get back on later on and see that we're different than we were this morning and that's great. That's terrific."
