Well, Hunter in 2012 maybe?

If thompson gets crowded out… Well who are we conservvatives supposed to get fired up for?

We end up with losers.

McCain loses because he can’t hold the normnal states and doesnt really add any – plus is weak as hell on immigration and a few other place.

Huckabee who would lose in a landslide of McGovern proportions because if he is exampined closely, no thinking conservative can bear to vote for him.

Romney who is just the latest establishment plastic manufactured candidate, and it shows – and he will ose because he takes too many issues off the table with his flip-flops.

Guiliani? Sorry. One liberal is the same as the other for the most part. Conservatives will sit at home in larger numbers than with any other candidate if Giuliani is the nominee.

So Hunter is the guy who can make Hillary or Obama a one term president.

Duncan, pull in your reins – and start laying in the groundwork for 2012.

Hunter/Steele in 2012.

A ‘Hunter/Thompson’ ticket would be my dream… and you would get nostalgic hippies voting for them too in a daze..

Duncan should check with the Defense Dept. I don’t think they are using the slogan “An Army of One”

I’m pretty much followed PowWow’s path. Indeed, my first donation of the season went to Hunter.

Unfortunately, when it became clear he wouldn’t move up, I had to move on.

[...] – Jessica McBride has a bullet-point review. – Michelle Malkin focuses on some of the eclectic – Duncan soldiering on despite a 1% showing (makes sense; he used the ignore-Iowa strategy, and his campaign is more to raise awareness than [...]

From the time Hunter got in, I was saying this is the guy. He’s the one for conservatives. I kept being told he didn’t have a chance, it’s gonna be Fred, or this one or that one. I mentioned Thompson by name only because he wasn’t in the race yet, but the expectations were that high from his supporters. He’s gonna punch the hippies and commies. He’s gonna hit the ground running. I kept trying to plug Hunter. He was already in after all.
After a while I stopped. I didn’t even bother logging in most days because it was just nothing but all everyone else, all the time, while Hunter got no support or media play.
Meh, barring Paul, Chucklebee, and most likely McAmnesty who it looks like has some kind of thing working with Huckabee, I’ll vote for the (R), I suppose. I’ve been doing so since Reagan 1, my first pres. election. Though it just seems like I’m always settling since his second term.

Don’t whine. Keep working

Which is the politicallt correct way to say something I’m sure Ranger Hunter used to say a lot: FIDO- F*** It, Drive On.

FIDO, Ranger, FIDO.

I liked what Rush said today about Duncan Hunter:

Duncan Hunter is a great guy, and he truly is authentic. It’s a mystery why some people don’t get out of the bottom tier or the lower tiers in campaigns. But, remember, this is his first chance, it’s his first time going up in a national audience, and he’s got a future ahead of him if he wants to try to continue to do this. Whatever happens here does not rule him out forever.

Yeah, he may be an asterisk in Iowa but I still have hope for him in New Hampshire. Hopefully he’s still in the race once the campaign swings my way February 12th.

If there ever was a candidate that deserved a billionaire promoter, Duncan Hunter would be that candidate.

How do we organize a massive call in to the NRP headquarters demanding a new look at Duncan Hunter!?
WOW – What a shaking up that would give them!

TX Rose #17 – I, too, hope that Hunter and Thompson are still around when TX and CA vote (-:

Back on 9/15, along with a number of others from the Gather of Eagles, I spent about 30 minutes chatting with Duncan hunter on the Mall in D.C. Perhaps the cynical think it was a photo op for him yet his son was at that moment deployed and he was the only Member of Congress who showed up there that day.

Tancredo, Hunter and Thompson, and now Hunter
and Thompson. Just hope that they are still there when TX votes.

Hunter was my first choice, but realistically, Fred Thompson stands a better chance, so that where my support is.

I wish Duncan would throw his weight behind Fred when he withdraws after New Hampshire.

And no matter who the nominee is Hunter makes an ideal running mate (even McCain and Yuckabee)!
