Hunter is unknown. Once people listen to him, I think his numbers will go way up. He has plenty of time. Don’t waste your support on a “can win vote” before voters have even had a chance to take a look at the candidates. No one can win without their core party support. What you see now are the votes of strategists. They are not always right.

A point that I have made several times myself... Unfortunantly the only folks I can reach out and touch in Baghdad are other soldiers, most of whom tell me that they WILL vote for Duncan Hunter, but only after I asked them to take a look at him.. some of the "older folks" still tell me "He can't win because no one knows who he is" to which I reply well the primary is a year away and YOU know who is, and YOUR in Baghdad just like me.. Don't you think the folks at "home" are more informed than you are? LOL

With 26+ years in congress, why is Hunter this unknown?

I've been "paying attention" for quite a while. The only thing that I knew about him five months ago was that he was a congressmen from somewhere that had a Marine son in Iraq.
