But why are GOP members going for moderate conservatives (Rudy, Romney, McCain, Thompson) when they can get the real thing in Duncan Hunter?

Celebrity worship. LOL. It will be overcome. McCain and Rudy are on their way down. Mitt is stuck in neutral despite big money and Fred will be revealed for the middling Senator he was. Excellent opportunity for Hunter.

I think Hunter is one of the really good guys but unfortunately am pretty sure he’d be massacred by Hillary.

You talking about that real thing that voted for the biggest federal entitlement program since Social Security.

Well it has started already.

It’s called winning.

Where’s Pissant?

Great question Sam. I’d love it if Duncan caught fire and took off...he’s my guy but I don’t see it happening.

My God people! Don't you get it? Don't you get it? Duncan Hunter has NO money. Duncan Hunter has very LOW name recognition. Duncan Hunter barely registers in polls. Duncan Hunter gets NO press.

There - that is your answer. Now your assignment is to repeat or write the above 1 million times until you understand. PLEASE quit acting bewildered as to why Hunter is going nowhere.

Because people have preferences when it comes to politics, and they do not always follow the so-called ideological purity. Plus, it also shows that 'conservatism' is a fluid concept where many people have different interpretations about what it is.
