Three — Senator Sam Brownback; Mike Huckabee; and Tom Tancredo of Colorado — indicated they did not.

Man, where are all the "DUNCAN HUNTER IS A RINO!!!!" threads then?

Why am I not surprised that you’re the one who posts this?

In any case, I would consider that “evolution” question to be a “gotcha” one on Chris Matthews’ part, but let’s elaborate anyway.

What kind of evolution?

Microevolution (which is somewhat like crossbreeding, and very plausible) or macroevolution (which is well, not as plausible)?

Did God create the world in such a way as to allow evolution to exist in some form?

I can’t claim to know exactly how the Creator did His work. But Duncan Hunter is a pro-Life, pro-Family, pro-God Baptist (as his record and words have shown constantly and consistently over the years). To think that whatever his specific viewpoint on evolution may be makes him a RINO is silly, IMHO.

Hunter was wise to abstain. A rushed debate does not afford an appropriate forum for discussion of such a massive and intellectually-demanding topic with its history and nuances. Whatever Hunter's beliefs on this, we know from his other positions he is a man with his heart in the right place and the competence to lead.

FWIW the Hunters are Baptists and Rep. Hunter's other positions indicate a reverent man not willing to trifle with what is, by any honest and humble assessment, beyond the human grasp.
