The Paulestinians missed one! :)

In fairness, though, 16% and third place is a good showing for Paul. But more importantly, it’s a bit of encouragement for Thompson and Hunter.

I’ll never understand results like that. Hunter and Tancredo are so similar in their stances but look how widely spaced they are.

Having attended a Paul rally in South Carolina, I can tell you his followers need help. One gentleman at our table, a dentist, told me all about the conspiracy behind 9/11.

When I asked him how he could believe it was planned by the government, his reply was, “ explain WTC 7”

Wackos.

I’m sure it’s not entirely the reason for Tancredos poor showing compared to Hunter, but I think that Tancredos remarks about nuking Mekka and his inferior Military/Defense credentials compared to Hunter are partly responsible.

The military and defense credentials are my reason for giving Hunter the edge to earn my support.

“But Duncan Hunter doesn’t stand a chance!”/s

He might be catching on!

HOORAY!!!!

I’m sure the naysayers will be along shortly. They always show up on a thread like this.

One major difference, Hunter has the background, and experience, for both National Security, Military, also illegals & border issues. A View Nam war vet.

Tancredo a nice guy but not the background in these issues.
Supporting and doing the heavy lifting are the main difference.
