>>I interpreted that comment as sarcasm. Meaning: Hyde endorsement--big deal.
I could be wrong, though.<<
I bet you are right... my wife left this morning for a birthday party and I'm coffee deprived.
Don't get me wrong: If Hunter is a good conservative candidate who can win, that's good, and I'll not knock him. However, I think the Hyde endorsement means almost zero to Hunter, except amongst Hyde-sters, if any of those exist.
If you happened to be around during 1998-99 Henry Hyde was almost 'godlike' around here.
Other congressmen who have endorsed Duncan Hunter are:
Rep. John Culberson (R-Texas)
Rep. Terry Everett (R-Ala.)
Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.)
Rep. Ralph Hall (R-Texas)
Rep. Jim Saxton (R-N.J.)
Rep. Bill Young (R

Presidential Candidate Duncan Hunter to Speak at DuPAge Republican Party Lincoln Day Dinner
I tried and I got a message from FR saying we can't post anything from them. I guess the Conservative Voice doesn't like us.
I saw that! Baldwin almost had a stroke.
Henry Hyde endorsing Hunter ~ two great war horses.
Takes one to know one.
"Henry Hyde endorsing Hunter ~ two great war horses."
Most certainly agree, doodlelady! Great admiration for Henry Hyde and Duncan Hunter. They are both staunchly pro-life!!
Still is, to those who value him.
SUPER idea.

REP. HENRY HYDE INTERVIEW
JULY 16, 2006 [snip]
DOUGLASS: And do you think there are many statesmen in Congress?
HYDE: I think there are lots of potential statesmen. I think there are some pretty
good people here, really outstanding. Duncan Hunter is a is a man of high
principle [and] courage in a very tough job. Were lucky to have him.

Hmm. I can't quite remember who Hyde is...anyone know?
Henry Hyde - WHAT a great endorsement!
I saw Henry Hyde speak in person re: pro-life!
He even talked with me, when he asked me where the elevator was. :)
If Henry Hyde will do a little traveling and speaking on Mr. Hunter's behalf, he could swing a few primary voters who are undecided. Obviously, those leaning towards Mr. Giuliani or Senator McCain are less likely to change their minds, but those considering other conservative candidates could be swayed.
Bill
Duncan Hunter is the only one I can vote for. He is a strong conservative and that is what we need, not some liberal rhino like some of the others. augh
Thanks for the ping.

That's the important thing. One of the conservative candidates needs to move to the front of the pack.
