Since there seems to be other Freepers that haven't heard of Duncan Hunter either, I don't think I'm that stupid & I know I'm not lying. Maybe if I could see a picture of the man, I might recognize him - but I gotta say that I have no name recognition of him. Maybe it's because I live in the East. I'm not against the guy - like I said - I'm open minded to any good conservative candidate & will certainly read the links you gave to find out more about him.
The little that I've picked up about him on this thread sounds really good - but if he is on TV all the time - it doesn't seem like he's got a lot going in the charisma department - not cutting the guy down or anything - I just haven't noticed him.
I'll check him out.
One reason I believe he is not known, is that this guy is solid, sort of quiet for a politician; He does not come across as a media-hoar, unlike MacaCain, Graham or chuck Hegel... all certified "useful Idiots." of the MSM.
