I think Duncan Hunter is serving a very useful purpose here.

He will drive hard "to-the-right" in this campaign - and as a result,
force the others to answer or defend their own positions.

That's what it's all about - state your position - defend it -
see how the public reacts - and then watch the other candidates adjust (or not).

Could you clarify Rudy's position on firearms?

I would like to know which guns I will be able to keep and which ones I must allow the government to confiscate.

Translation: make it a masquerade ball. No, Hunter's out to tell people what he stands for, show how he presents himself and what kind of President he would be. Straightforward and to the point. We don't need a masquerade ball when the other candidates pretend they will do something to win over the base when in actuality it will further liberal causes when they get into office.

Good point. I like your "drive hard to the right" he is getting closer to the lane I drive in.
