I believe that he would be the most electable candidate that we could run.

I agree with this. It's frustrating to me that he gets so little media attention. Usually, when I say that, people respond "Well he's at 1% in the polls!" but I think that begs the question: If people knew more about him wouldn't he be higher in the polls?

I'm paranoid enough to think that the media considers him a threat and tries to ignore him, in hopes that the conservative base doesn't get too excited about him.

I know the dems are scared of him. He regularly uses them as punching bags on the House floor and they have no way to counter him.

The media is the key. John McCain is still in the top tier for no other reason than the media wants him there. Fortunately I'm not a herd voter and don't care who the media wants me to vote for.

Thank you thank you THANK YOU for using “begging the question” correctly!

The way it’s misused as a stand-in for “raising the question” makes my teeth hurt.

Ah, but have you noticed? The media coverage is getting to be a little more respectful, a little more frequent, a little bit attentive, and a little less combative - with the exception of rude and rabid Alan Colmes, of course.
The cream it is arisin’! GO DUNCAN HUNTER! :)

If he were a more capable politician (important, if you want to win the general election) he would be.

The failure to sell a quality product like Hunter suggest a severe electability weakness.
