Rudy McRomney--no thanks. I'll stick with the Conservative option...

Hey, instead of putting that spam-like Hunter button graphic on every thread discussing GOP candidates, maybe you should find articles discussing your man Hunter (such as this Frum piece discussing Romney), and start a new thread headed by the Hunter article.

(Of course you may find that there are no such articles, because Hunter's groundswell of support consists only of a few posters at FR).

One thing missing from these discussions are issues of a candidate's competence and skills. Romney started and ran one of the most successful venture capital firms in history. He has more knowledge about finance in his finger than do any of the other candidates in their entire bodies, and he succesfully leverged that knowledge to balance the MA budget, as well as restore its state pension fund to solvency.

That kind of knowledge and experience, coupled with his demonstrated political saavy as governor, will be indispensible to averting the looming financial crisis resulting from all the unfunded liabilities associated with social security and medicare. It's going to require a financial professional to get that job done, and McCain and Gulliani and Hunter know squat about finance. Romney is the only candidate of either parties with the skills to do it. This has grave national security implications, for how can a bankrupt country run a war on terror?

Let's also not forget that save Gulliani, none of the other candidates has any executive experience. Executive competence is going to be at a premium in the general election as a result of our experience with Bush.

There have been plenty of articles on Hunter, but ones on the other candidates are a lot more prevalent at this point and even though articles like this one don't get too many posts, they're still helpful for raising Hunter's profile.

A conservative candidate is sure to attract a lot of attention on a conservative website where a select group of posters are pushing liberals as the "only choices."
