Hunter is now in the race and that is good but when did he announce precisely? And not to quibble but if we are to focus on "stupid" remarks by candidates, it is a wonder to me that Bush got elected...What matters to me is that the debate get framed correctly for the primaries and Tancredo will force that.
Framing this debate around "Common Sense" solutions to our issues is a brilliant strategy IMO, and has a great deal of appeal in the debate.
The general public (even Democratic voters for the most part) feel they have common sense and if the issues are framed that way we have a chance of keeping the back-room boys from putting McCain and company forward.
Republican or not I will not vote for him, primary or general election.
Someone with good sense recently said, If you can't fix the problem, make it worse so you get help fixing it.
If we are to be continually stuck with RINO leadership, I'd rather opt for the other side so it becomes clear just how bad they are. I am fully aware of the risk inherent in this logic but feel it is not much different from the frog slowly boiling in the water or alternatively jumping into the fire. One path is certain death, the other at least has the possibility of escaping with burns. Sorry for the rant but I just saw Hagel on Fox and am in a really bad mood toward the RNC or anyone else that would support people like him or Snowe "for the sake of the party".

Hunter actually announced his intentions toward the presidency in late October. He is 'formally' announcing Jan. 25. Point is, it's been well known Hunter has been in the race. Hunter already has the illegal immigration issue covered. It has been a major issue with him as well for some time, being that he is from San Diego. And Hunter actually helped get a double fence built along the border and is the author to expand the fence. So what purpose is Tancredo serving? Other than to split the vote. And I tell you that Tancredo lacks tact and does not have the military credentials of a Hunter so he is not stronger than Hunter. And it will be proven when more is seen of the nominees. You'd be wise to reevaluate all the traits, personal and political, and differentiate between the two. Hunter is nowhere near being a RINO, has been on top of criticising the treasonous media in their coverage of the war and is one of the few Republicans with a spine. That is why I am so strongly for him. I do agree that the GOP may be heading for a split after this election and that wouldn't be a bad thing if we are going to continue with the Hagel, Snowe type backbiting.
