I want to ask one thing: last summer or whenever you were first aware of Rep Hunter in the race, did you stop to check him out, go over his record—the border fence, the stand against NAFTA,CAFTA,GATT & globalization? His support for the unborn? His A+ rating with GOA & NRA? Combat in *Nam also chairmn Armed Svcs, a great + for a CinC? If you read his history and present work, then if you are on the Right, didn*t you say, This is a guy who could win, who could be every bit as great as RR? Well—if not, then what was it about Hunter that turned you off? Just curious.

I’m not against NAFTA or CAFTA.

I liked Hunter since I first read about him. I am saddened that he withdrew, but a race can not maintain so many candidates. Some need to withdraw. I will still vote R in the booth. One question, how many proclaiming the end of the republican party attend their precinct or county meetings? How about the local convections at the county party level. Probably not many.

I admit that I never looked into Hunters record but I remember seeing him a few times on C-Span over the years and knew that he was a pro-life conservative. The reason most of us didn't consider supporting Hunter is because he never got traction. The reason he never got traction is because not enough people were willing to consider supporting him. You get my point.

I recently met the guys who recruited Chuck Norris to the Huckabee campaign. They are 19 year old twins who just sent out hundreds of emails to everyone they knew about why they supported Huckabee. One of those emails made its way to Chuck Norris and after looking into Huckabee's record and positions he decided to support him and make a promo ad. That ad generated over one million youtube hits in the first day and generated a huge amount of traffic to Huckabee's website. It just goes to show how a random chance email can change the course of a campaign. If it was about Hunter instead of Huckabee, I think that he would be the front runner now.

I appreciate the Hunter supporters being respectful and honest in their disagreements about other candidates. You guys have been class acts.
