I'm beginning to believe that Hunter is the only one in the field that can go toe to toe with Hillary and show the remarkable contrast between her Marxism and Conservatism. Rudy McRomney certainly won't cut it.

If Hunter was to get the nod and lose in the general election to Hillary, at the least Conservatism will have a leg to stand on and be seen as an opposition to a Clinton presidency. However, if Rudy McRomney runs and loses, their brand of socialism-light won't show many distinctives and I fear Conservatism will have a much larger mountain to climb in the future.

This is a great point. Of course. I don't want to dwell too much on the "loses in the general election."

Because it has seldom happened. Republicans generally lose when they run moderates and win when they run conservatives.

Yes, you're right about finally having a great man who explains and shows conservatism very well. And it's always better with military experience. He would be the first Vietnam vet as President he has the politics and personality to back it up and make a run successful. I think he would be the best voice to put forward for conservatism and would more than show the Demonrat candidates as the fools they are. Just think of how absurd they will look next to Hunter in '08 and with the threats we are facing.
