He has wasted opportunity after opportunity, he has neglected his base of natural volunteers around the country, he has not fundraised to even the degree to which any other candidate has... he is dead last.

Rachel, good points, and it goes farther than that. Hunter failed to capitalize on the Internet, instead thinking that the MSM was going to give him some time. When he finally created his website, it looked like something out of the 80s. There were no links to donate, no bumper stickers, the famous quotation mark grammar error etc.

Plus he declared way too early. How can someone declare their candidacy for the Presidency when the mid-terms weren't even done yet? He should have simply waited until April or May and the grassroots would have responded.

And finally, the man has been in Congress for 26 years. He couldn't have at least ran for CA Governor or challenged Feinstein or Boxer for the Senate? If he had he would have likely won.

I do like Duncan Hunter, but would have to agree with all of these points...PLUS...he has been less than stellar in the debates, he's had some chances to step up, and has not.

A good man, a very good man...but not a President IMO.

But if he were nominated, I would actively support him, which is more than a certain 'other' one here would say...and most likely, wouldn't do.

And you will NOT believe how much he PAID for that god-awful website either...

Inept is the word that describes his campaign and thus by default the man.

But forget the web and MSM... he was EARLY and thus had a chance to just flat out ORGANIZE the grassroots... but his campaign manager is totally opposed to that kind of strategy... thus he had three strikes and after the straw poll, should be out of the running.
