It was California Congressman Duncan Hunter who scored the highest grade from a unique Iowa political panel. WHO-TV.com asked six undecided voters all from different cities in the state to "grade" the presidential candidates. The registered voters, two Democrats, two Republicans, and two Independents,

So much for that theory that Hunter can't win. In fact, Hunter's the only candidate out there talking about things that concern the man on the street and the only candidate who can rebuild the Reagan coalition.

“Hunter’s response was deemed to be the most favorable of the 11 by the panel.”

When most people KNOW Duncan Hunter, they will support him.

When this little contest at WHO translates into better than 2% poll numbers for Congressman Hunter, ping me, okay?

Duncan Hunter is the man that Ronald Reagan sent to Europe to bring them on board with Strategic Defense Initiative—and he succeeded (exceedingly controversial at the time).

Why? Does some no name blog poll or overseas Internet site show Hunter winning? The Paulestinians pull that trick every once in awhile (like the military contribution ruse), but I thought most Hunterites were above that type of gimmick.

So, IOW, you want your own sources. Then you answer is, yes, you care what the source is.

They’re not.
I spent several hours arguing with some Hunter supporters on another thread about whether he was polling <1% or 3%. As if there is a difference. Still, I was called a liar and a shill for the Establishment.

It would be interesting to know if this was a “blind” judging of the answers ... judging the answers on their merit without knowing which candidate wrote the answer, or did they know who wrote the answer and then judge it.

Didn’t you and I attend the same CFR roundtable? After that, I headed over to my abortion clinic, performed 2 or 3 procedures, stopped by Skull & Bones for a quick orgy, went to a LaRaza cocktail party, and then over to Michael Vick’s pad for a dogfight.

You were called a:

“Liar, liar, pants on fire”

when you said <1%, but could any provide ANY POLL to show that it was LESS THAN 1%, because no poll exists.

No one called you a liar for polls that said Hunter was 1% - 3%, only when you said LESS THAN 1%, and could not provide a poll to back it up, and you are STILL exaggerating, because you are afraid that a real CONSERVATIVE will get the nomination, and Hunter will.

Clinton was 2% in the polls in OCTOBER of ‘91, and this is only the end of JULY.

So don’t you think if an unpatriotic person like Clinton can win, that a Patriot and competent candidate, like Hunter, has an even better chance?

Yeah, what a sham poll.
A mere six people?
This is known as the “small numbers fallacy.”
And the two parties are not even gender balanced.
