It’s the “I won’t vote for him because he can’t win because I won’t vote for him” syndrome.
Blah, blah, blah. I've seen this "clever line" before. It's total BS.

A good candidate IGNITES support, the same way a flame ignites a dead pile of leaves.

Hunter, as good as he is (and I have acknowledged about a thousand times that he's a great American, a great patriot and a great conservative) ain't igniting didddly squat.

He's going NOWHERE. And all the huffing and puffing and stamping of feet here in FR, by a small number of ardent supporters, means exactly the same thing: diddly squat.

It's the CANDIDATE who ignites support, not the press, not the syndromes (or lack of them). It's the CANDIDATE.

And this CANDIDATE just ain't doing it.

Interesting analogy. Sadly, not far off the mark.

'The average American voter' - & - 'A pile of dead leaves'.

You are certainly a gloomy Gus. So, basically what you are saying is there is no more room for conservatives in the GOP? It appears even the protege of “The Great Conciliator”, the moderates moderate, Howard Baker, will be pulling up the tent stakes after the SC Primary. The Huckster, Mitt and Rudy are the only ones igniting any support. So, it looks like MITT is the most conservative, without being conservative, by default, huh?
