Hunter isn’t going to happen.

DeMint wuld be a nice choice but unlikely.

Poll results are meaningless and they know it. As long as Obama polls below 50% he’s vulnerable to anyone that runs a good campaign.

PA: Yes, but still, there was a lot of conservatives that sat on their hands when it got down to Huckabee and McCain. PA: That were not thrilled with either. It really takes a what I believe to be a Reaganite, to reunite the party. That’s where we are hoping that you haven’t completely retired from politics. Are you considering, or is it possible, you may get back into politics?

Hunter: Politics, or running for office, it is a process of identifying an opportunity and responding to it. And as you know, politics is largely timing. And if the right opportunity presented itself, I’m not foreclosed at all to running again.

PA: This is one of the reasons that I’ve coaxed myself into trying to interview you. If indeed, you don’t want to slam the door shut and say “ah, I’m done with it, I’ll retire and just throw my 2 cents in from the sidelines occasionally”, if you indeed you think it is possible to run in the future, whether for the Senate, or the presidency again, or even governor, whatever the case may be. The thing that Ronald Reagan did after his loss in 1976, though he did this even before challenging Ford, but especially in those years after that primary, is that he gave speeches, he wrote papers, he kept himself in the public eye, and so by the time…

Hunter: He had a radio show.

PA: Well yeah, yes, so that helped.

Hunter: That did more than the papers or speeches. You know, they asked him if he wanted to do a TV show, and he said “no, I’d rather do radio”. He said “people will get tired of me if they see me on TV, I wanna do radio”. (laughs)

PA: That was a good answer. (laughs)

Hunter: yeah (lauging)

PA: So anyway, that’s why I was very interested when you said you were writing a book, or that you were busy writing some policy papers on China and foreign policy. Because I think we are in for a real bad stretch here, coming down the pike. The Obama administration has started off very poorly, and I don’t see it – well I’m hoping that it gets better- but I don’t see it so. I mean Hugo Chavez is making noise, the Iranians are making lots more noise. I’m sure you see the same things I do. Obama’s team does not instill a lot of confidence in me…

Hunter: I don’t think Obama’s team instills a lot of confidence in Obama’s team. (laughs)

Hunter: But listen, I’ve got to get ready for this thing (Hannity show), so you hang in there. And no, I have not foreclosed anything. And I’m going to continue to keep a little bit in the public eye.

These Duncan nut-huggers are beyond delusional. I could name about 500 conservatives I’ve rather have over that uncharismatic fart.
