Duncan Hunter won the Texas straw poll
He’s excellent but he simply won’t win the nomination at this point while Huckabee does have a shot. Unlike Iowa, no major candidates competed in TX and while I wish the media would either give more coverage to this or that at least Republican voters stopped looking to the media to choose their candidates, we see that neither of these is happening. At this point we need to rally behind a candidate with some traction to ensure a conservative nominee as opposed to one of the four most commonly mentioned. Huckabee would also do far better as nominee against the Dem. candidate. He resonates with segments of the population we need. If people were smart and independent thinkers, Hunter would be in the top tier. But we need to win and Huckabee’s a good man on our side who gives us a shot.
