Your vote belongs to you and no one else. If Mr. Hunter doesn't represent what you believe or disagrees with your beliefs on too many crucial points, I won't trash you for refusing to vote for Mr. Hunter. Even if your refusal to vote for Mr. Hunter causes him to lose the general election, your vote is yours, and I respect your right to vote for someone who represents what you believe.
You claim that the WOT is crucial. Maybe it is, but I see nothing to suggest that Mr. Giuliani will be a strong president in that war. He advocates amnesty for illegal aliens, and that amnesty would lead to more of them coming to this country regardless of what other policies we put in place to stop them. Our being lenient about overstayed visas played some part in the September 11 attacks. If we want national security, we must have border security, and Mr. Giuliani is weak on this issue.
If you don't like Mr. Hunter for reasons related to policy and issues, why don't you suggest another candidate? I'm nominally supporting Mr. Hunter right now, but I could change my mind as the field changes. Former Governor Gilmore of Virginia has formed an exploratory committee. Being governor is a stronger qualification than being a Congressman. I don't know where Governor Gilmore stands on the issues, but if he is pretty good on the important issues, I might be able to support him. If you can support him and not Congressman Hunter, maybe he would be a good compromise candidate for us. Newt Gingrich wouldn't be my first choice, but I could probably support him. I haven't ruled out supporting Governor Romney, and I would likely vote for him even if I didn't volunteer for him in the campaign. I might even be able to vote for John McCain if he had a good enough running mate, but I'm uncertain about that vote. Why can't we continue looking for a good candidate who will be broadly acceptable instead of trying to force someone on those who cannot support him?

I hope you can find someone that you can get excited about and support. Several that you mentioned seem like good prospects.
I could support both Hunter and Gilmore, if they get the nomination. But some will refuse to do so. And because this election is so crucial, they need to be pushed to support the candidate. There will never be a candidate who satisfies 100% of the GOP. In a time of war, you don't have the luxury of being able to stay home, unless you're willing to make the country pay the price.
