He was already a six-term Governor of Arkansas and an Attorney General before that
In February 1975 no one gave Jimmy Carter any chance at all.....
He was a Southern Governor as well.
Look, I admire Hunter, I appreciate his & his son's service to our country, and he's a solid (social) conservative. But let's face facts. He's a Congressman, one of 435, innoculated in a gerrymandered Congressional district, voted in favor of big government pork and programs, and has no executive experience. Now if he would have ran for CA Governor in 1998 or even ran for President in 2000, I'd be backing him 110%.
He has a crappy website and he's a protectionist. He has no solutions to our burgeoning entitlement programs or limiting the size and power of the federal government.
Nevertheless, I will support Hunter as far as he goes. If Rudy or Mitt gets the nomination I can live with that. I don't believe McCain has a chance......
