Me neither. Sleep tight! Come back and have another bite sometime. :-)
"Nobody wins the presidency without winning South Carolina," Hunter said.
Hunter already has some deep-pocket allies in the state, including textile magnate Roger Milliken, who supports Hunter's promise to protect U.S. manufacturers threatened by cheap, overseas labor."

Duncan Hunter has a problem with name recognition and he is
running advertisement change name recognition problem.
Marc Racicot!
I LOVE this man.
But didn't he decline to continue in office due to wanting to "spend more time with his family?"
1. Is he at all interested in running?
2. Is "spend more time with his family" true or code for having a skeleton in his closet?
Glenn Beck just highlighted another illegal alien who committed countless murders and rapes in California. The "undocumented worker" was deported at least nine times, but kept coming back across the border.
Someone like Duncan Hunter would put an end to this.
You are a vet to fellow vets here. No explanation is necessary.
He is articulate, probably the best I have heard on the conservative side in a long time.
And a Combat Veteran!
Gla he got the press! Momentum is building!
Yeah, but I had it real easy as a vet, my combat star parents uncles and cousins really deserve it.
I agree...I'm not a fan of ANY of the other candidates, but I just can't see a guy who's only been a congressman becoming President.
He's been there for over 25 years...scratch him hard enough and you'll almost ceertainly find a treasure trove of votes that can be nit picked, twisted and distorted by the opposition. That what derails so many Senators.
Frankly..if his last name was something else...Jeb Bush would win this nomination in a cake walk. The 15-20 hardcores on here that wanted him to start a civil war over Terri Schiavo aside, he's a popular former govenor of a swing state. He's durely be our best bet in 2008. But, I just can't see it right now. Maybe in 8-12 months when all other options appear futile he'll enter the race....
Just some background info on Hunter and his outspoken nature to go where not many(I don't think any) Republicans go with their spineless nature.

Probably the single loudest obstructionist voice in the House of Representatives in support of the Cheneyac "Beastman" policy in Iraq has been Armed Services Committee chairman Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.). Hunter has been able to use his position to block any meaningful inquiry into the Abu Ghraib prison scandal and at every public opportunity, has railed against those who are demanding such an investigation. He even went after his GOP counterpart in the Senate, John Warner (Va.), for holding three hearings in two weeks on the scandal, practically accusing Warner of treason.
Under great public pressure, Hunter has since held one hearing, for part of one day, and has no intention of having any more. During debate on the Fiscal Year 2005 Defense Authorization bill, on May 19, Hunter declared, "We have had enormous publicity the last number of days about the mess at Abu Ghraib. I estimated we have probably devoted as much media attention to that mess involving now, as identified, some seven personnel, as we did to the Normandy invasion. And that is an imbalance. It is time to refocus." What did he want to refocus on? "The 135,000 great personnel doing their job in Iraq."
On June 14, when the committee took up a resolution of inquiry sponsored by some 40 Democrats, demanding the Pentagon be more forthcoming with documents relating to the prison scandal, Hunter placed the 6,000 pages of the report on the abuse and torture of prisoners filed by U.S. Army General Anthony Taguba (the Taguba Report) on a table at the head of the hearing room and railed at the Democrats, "Isn't that enough for you?"
Hunter on Guantanamo(courtesy http://washingtontimes.com/upi-breaking/20050613-033125-4935r.htm:)
California Republican Duncan Hunter held a press conference to discuss the treatment of detainees at the island jail, and spent his opening statement going over a daily menu for prisoners that included oven-fried chicken and fresh fruit.
"This is what Osama bin Laden's bodyguards will eat several times a week. Lemon chicken, rice, broccoli, carrots, bread and two types of fruit," Hunter said, inviting a reporter to come eat with him.
Hunter was digging himself out of small hole he got into over the weekend when he said on a news program that the White House is divided over whether to close the jail.
"I think they've come to the conclusion, some members of the White House have come to the conclusion that the legend now, that the legend is different than the fact, and when that's the case you go with the legend that somehow Guantanamo has been a place of abuse and you close it down and you shorten the stories, you shorten the heated debate and you get it off the table and you move on," he said.
I read a post saying Duncan Hunter is going to be a guest on CNN sometime between 11 and 1 E.T. I am not sure if A.M. or P.M.
Brownback's one of the Republicans joining with Demonrats to stop the war in Iraq. He was also on FNS a few weeks back saying how the President needs to reach across the aisle to the Demonrats. He didn't come across well in manner and his stance on Iraq is less than encouraging. The GOP doesn't need the wobbly type.
Hunter is our guy. The rinos wont get the south as we down here in the south are getting real tired of the northeast libs of both parties. The battle rages on within the republican party. GO DUNCAN HUNTER!
LOL
I would bet that common sense is one of his virtues. What would you think his position is?
Dear Sir Francis Dashwood,
My older son most enjoyed the photo analogy for Sen. McCain.
LOL!
sitetest
You sure seem to follow the lib line that only a rino can win against the beast.
The way Hunter becomes a household word is for people to talk to others about him. So start talking, I am.
Bookmarked bump!
