I'm a Duncan Hunter fan as well. There are quite a few of us around these parts.
That was more than 15 years ago; it is not possible now.

I am a HUGH Duncan Hunter fan....but I have to look at all of the candidates.

He was a VERY well known governor, he gave the preeminent into speech at the '88 Dem Convention which he muffed something terrible and them spent months, on T.V., trying to apologize for, make excuses for, wiggle out of, and ingratiate himself.

Hunter has NONE of that and is an unknown, even in California, outside of his district.
