You two hit the Duncan Hunter supporters hard with the line that he is unelectable... therefore we have to line up behind a RINO because he can beat the Hildebeast. Someone on a thread yesterday (one of you?) also said that Rudy is walking away in the SC straw poll with Duncan nowhere on the board.

Can we please put the "electability" canard behind us and begin the real work of promoting a strong conservative? The only reason Rudy polls highly is because of name recognition... he doesn't do so well with the conservative base when his positions are evaluated. Like it or not, a GOP candidate can not win without the conservative base.

Rudy is the MSM annointed candidate because they can easily destroy him later. Duncan Hunter is the ignored candidate because he is solid. It's about time the GOP chooses its own candidate, not the three the MSM want us to have because they have been made celebrities.

Exactly. I agree 100%

Don't expect the Rudy-Tooters to show up on this thread. They avoid positive Hunter threads like the plague.

I think the support Rudy has among conservatives is because people know that he knows how to fix the border -- zero tolerance policing like he did in New York.

The rub is that that's making the awfully large assumption that he wants to close the border any more than George W. Bush wants to close it.
