He's extremely chummy--to the point of earmarks and the like--with Southwest Marine, National Steel & Shipbuilding Company (aka NASSCO), and other federal contractors in his district. Considering that he's only a hop, skip, and a jump away from Duke Cunningham's old district, it will raise eyebrows--and I'm not 100% certain that he's clean (mostly because I thought the Duke was as clean as could be, and I wound up feeling dumber than a box of rocks, thankyewverymuch).

Congressmen typically do very poorly as Presidential candidates--because Congressmen spend their entire time doing favors for local constituents, and they can make a bunch of enemies without even trying. The question is always "how MUCH are they doing in favors?"

Well, I'm going to keep an open mind, for the time being.

The existing field doesn't offer me what I'm looking for, so I'll welcome another hat in the ring.

So far all you've provided against Duncan Hunter is your "feelings" and inuendo. How 'bout some links? Or is your problem that he wants to secure the border and has proven that the fence just finished in San Diego (because of him) is working??

We don't believe your "clean" either. Put up or shut up. Ever hear of presumption of innocence? And this guy at least is willing to go into the arena, a meat-grinder for the Conservative Cause... And the RINOs have already FLUNKED the white-glove tests. McCain is so preposterously corrupt as the Keating Five case proved.

So what do you do... but infer Guilt by innuendo. Guilt by association. Guilt by mere accusation.

H'mmmm... sounds like you're an operative from the old Clinton War Room...

Wow. That's some of the most damning..... FUD... I've seen yet about Duncan Hunter.

Not a bit of evidence of wrongdoing, but plenty of Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt. Are you a journalist?

That's simply not true. In fact, I would say that Congressmen make great Presidents because they're in touch with the people and their concerns.

You must be talking about Senators. They're the ones who make lousy Presidents.
