Despite the poll numbers at this time, I think Duncan Hunter will prove to be a stronger candidate as folks get a chance to take a look at him.. I still run into a LOT of folks who don't even know who he is, and once they take the time to check him out they go WOW !! It is way to early in the game right now.. but that is where I stand right now.. How about yourself?

FReegards,

hardly ANYBODY knows who Hunter even IS.

fyi, i ( i'm a GOP party official & am "in the loop".) had heard his NAME 6 months ago, but knew NOTHING else about him other than that he was a CA congress-critter. imVho, he has NO chance of getting elected. NONE!

Fred Thompson, otoh, IS well-known, nationally & is fairly CONSERVATIVE,and therefore UNlike "rudy" & "john" could get MY vote. furthermore he could WIN in Nov '08.

if ANY liberal/RINO/"pro-choicer"/"gay rights" advocate/anti-gun nut is the GOP candidate, i will "go fishing" on election day. MILLIONS of CONSERVATIVES will join me on the "creek bank"!!! (the GOP will do WELL to hear my/our voices.)
