Huckabee's numbers are not surprising to me at all. I'm not a supporter of Huckabee, but I do know that the genius of the Reagan Revolution was that it stole pro-America, conservative Democrats from the Democratic Party. Most of those that were most telling were from the south.
The folks were always pro-America, pro-Defense, pro-God, pro-Guns, pro-Family, pro-Life. They were also pro-jobs, pro-services, pro-safety net democrats.
I can see them setting aside the border controversy in favor of their social and defense issues.
The sad thing is that Duncan Hunter was not glib enough, and activist enough to crash this campaign. Fred Thompson could have had this thing if he had not squandered great momentum from July to September. It appears he has blown it. Those are my two candidates.
My prediction at this point, as I look at those issues is that the Republican nominee is very likely going to be John McCain.
At this point, I would prefer a Cheney draft at a brokered convention, but I know that's a pipe dream.
I fear a Giuliani candidacy, because I'll have to desert the party. I hate the idea of a Romney candidacy because I know he's a fraud.....Giuliani in sheep's clothing.
Duncan Hunter is worthy of the support. He is the ONLY candidate I have any enthusiasm and confidence in. The other candidates really are none too good and are really only garnering support in people voting AGAINST someone else to prevent this person and that person from getting it because they are ‘the lesser of the evils’. Duncan Hunter is the man we need as President, a man who has consistently shown solid leadership, a man who has never failed to impress and has everything I’d want in a leader. The best candidate to come around in 20 yrs. and it is up to people to decide but I know I am supporting the man who could win a general election and he is the man who I honestly support and is my first choice and worthy of the vote. Duncan Hunter is the man and no amount of manipulation will change the fact that he is the candidate I will actually vote FOR and if more people would do that, he would run away with this thing. Nice to see the person that wrote this gets it.
Here is great website that lists the records of all the candidates. Duncan Hunter’s record is fabulous.
