Hunter said he wouldn’t need to raise that kind of money because “most of that money goes to pay for consultants that help them look like they are conservative and I am conservative already."
I see, and I suppose everyone in America knows who he is and knows all about him. If he's relying on the media to make himself known and to spread his message to the electorate, he is dreaming. In this day and age you need a lot of money to get your message out, to advertise, etc. Without money, it is very difficult to be a credible presidential candidate.
Even an admired and very well known political figure needs a great deal of money to run a competitive campaign. For better or for worse, that's how things work in politics
That's not one of Duncan's brightest comments. And it's early still. I said earlier that it's very telling that he is emerging as the consensus candidate on FR - hitching a wagon to this guy's star may end up being as masterful a move as hitching a wagon to Senator George 'Macaca' Allen's star.
And we all know how that worked out.
Let's keep in mind that Hunter voted in favor of many liberal spending programs. Medicare Part D, CFR, No Child Left Behind. The guy is simply not a viable candidate. Give him the Secretary of Defense position or something.
