Each candidate must get out there and raise money from like minded folks. Duncan Hunter, Tom Tancredo and Ron Paul have been around a while, if they can't get their message out, that's no one's fault but their own. But maybe folks HAVE looked at them, and decided that they cannot win a general election when more than just solid conservative voters will be doing the choosing. Nothing wrong with practical thinking; it's better than setting the GOP up for a General Election loss.
LOL, thank you Nostradamus. Duncan Hunter is strong with his stances, strong with LEADERSHIP, strong in articulating and strong in not taking sh*t from the media and Demonrats, but due to the mindset you and people like you seem to want to judge on who is known by the public and who you think is a ‘sure thing’ for electability, this is not based on who people think is the best but who they THINK can win. When Fred turns up and has to actually campaign and deal with a long cycle and a vicious opponent, I think you have been warned. Fred Thompson is not the best candidate and not the best opportunity to get elected no matter what polls say NOW. Campaigns change everything. Hype only goes so far. And I would not hold up hope that Fred would make that inspiring and reliable a ‘conservative’ once elected. I do know Hunter far outshines anything Thompson has ever done in his public service.
