Duncan Hunter may as well give his concession speech in April.
Howard Dean led John Kerry 40-12 in New Hampshire the month before the primary.
Seems to me the Rudy boosters can't deal with competition in the court of public opinion. And for good reason.
I truly can understand why you want Duncan Hunter out of the race sooner rather than later, given two recent polls that were more than just gauges of name recognition and popularity:

Half of voters (49 percent) say they are hoping there is someone new out there who they have yet to hear about who will enter the presidential contest. Republicans (53 percent) are a bit more interested than Democrats (46 percent) for someone new to come along.

(have to summarize, cannot post directly from Gannett)
Only twenty percent of pubbies knew that Rudy supports abortion rights and civil unions for gays.
Nearly as many pubbies thought Rudy was pro-life as thought he was pro-choice.
One in five pubbies said they would not support Rudy given his position on those subjects.
Another 25 percent of pubbies said those positions made them much less likey to support him.

All of these numbers bode very poorly for Rudy over the long haul as new faces step forward and more pubbies learn the truth about Rudy.
