He has my vote.
I'm take "over" on 10 with this.
So far he's the best we've got running.
Being an Atlantan, I was thinking about driving to Spartanburg to hear him announce his candidacy. Unfortunately I can't get the time off work.
I'm contributing to his campaign, however, and hope to be able to volunteer for him in the metro Atlanta area.
From what I have read, Rep Hunter looks to me to be the best of a rapidly expanding field. It would be interesting to create a chart of candidates and their positions. I believe that would help the conservative base rapidly filter out candidates that they have problems with and wont support.
This will have the net effect of helping narrow the field. This would help reduce the chances of a bloody primary fight and get the contributions flowing in during this year to help build for the Presidential race.
PING
Hunter has a lot of catching up to do on the name recognition front. He's not even a common name around FR, and this is probably where he's most popular.
He intrigues me, and I think he's probably the best we have a the moment issues ise, but until we start seeing him mentioned on a national level he'll be a footnote in this election.
Hard to overcome, but not impossible.
Yes, and not only on stances. It's nice that Hunter, unlike Tancredo(yes I'm trying to convince people who tend toward Tancredo that Hunter has the illegal issue on him and MORE) is a decorated Vietnam combat vet with a son who served in Iraq and has a great ability in getting his message across. Like I say, he's what a Commander in Chief should be!
I encourage everyone at FR to strongly support their favorite candidate in the primary races. Hunter is not my first choice, although he has many positives going for him.
His entry into the race is a good thing.
May I humbly remind everyone on this Duncan Hunter ping list, that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the concept of praying for the man, there has been a "Pray for President Bush" thread for a long, long time now, and while I have not heard Congressman Hunter spell out his own religious beliefs, my gut feeling tells me that he is a Christian who does the best he can to live by the Good Book, and lifting him up in prayer in these early days of the campaign can certainly do no harm, and in fact will do a lot of good that we might not see on the surface, but I think he is worthy of such prayers.
Glad to hear he's going to announce in South Carolina, I think that is a good place to 'officially' begin.
Hey, I'm just trying to get his name out there. ;) He will take care of the rest when people watch and listen.
Can we also have a "Pray McCain Isn't the Nominee in 2008" thread as well? Please?
>(Hunter)He intrigues me, and I think he's probably the best we have at the moment ????? but until we start seeing him mentioned on a national level he'll be a footnote in this election.<
Let's hope he comes out with a book because I doubt the leftist media will give him space unless it is to trash him.
Rep. Duncan Hunter was interviewed on FOX & Friends this morning.
Get an AIRTRAN ticket to atlanta and drive to it. come on down.
This is the best hope for the republican party for the foreseeable future imo.
