It was this way in 2008...The dems “selected” McCain to run against Obama...They effectively eliminated Guiliani, Hunter, and Thompson by innuendo and blackball exposure by the media.Those were the three strongest conservative candidates in 2008.
They are doing it again this election with Gingrich and Herman Cain...
Replican establishment just refuses to see this...
A Huck/Hunter (anti-Tarp, pro-Defense) ticket would have beaten Obama/Biden, imho.
