The more Fred DOESN'T commit the more I lean toward Duncan Hunter. I really like what he says.

My oldest son and I went to a Ron Paul event a week ago and I was really disappointed. I knew he was against the war, but during his address that's about all he ranted on. At an after event party at a microbrewery I got to speak with his campaign manager and came away thinking he was a...oh let me be kind...overstressed/out of reality kinda guy.

"[The Chinese are] taking hundreds of billions of dollars more than we're taking from them. I'll tell you what I'm worried about ladies and gentlemen, and one reason I'm running for the Presidency of the United States: I don't want to see a time when our trade deficit is so huge, and we've sent so much of our industrial base offshore, that we're worried about our men and women in uniform someday looking at those same weapons systems that we've financed coming back across the battlefield at our men and women in uniform. I'm going to stop that."

I like Hunter.
Good speech.

BTTT - I’m leaning for Fred Thompson, but I really admire Duncan Hunter!

[reasonisfaith]

Time to send more cash to Duncan.

[Kimberly GG]

Thank you!

Excellent job by Mr. Hunter. I can’t imagine supporting or voting for a finer candidate.

Duncan Hunter, President
2008

[WFTR]

If there were many people coming to the straw poll undecided, Mr. Hunter should have received a huge swing in his favor based on that speech. He was outstanding. If he's going to have a break out moment when he goes from an also-ran to the Republican nominee for the presidency, this speech could be that moment.

Thanks so much for the links. Hunter would be a WONDERFUL POTUS!!!

[Paperdoll]

Hey, Walter. No flowers, no marshmallows, and no soft music from Duncan Hunter. Just straight, bing, bang, boom - this is what he will do. I always say that Rep. Hunter says what he means, and by past performance, he does what he says! There is not a question in my mind but that Rep. Hunter is the man America needs today for the safety of America’s tomorrows. Thank you, Ros.

[JohnBovenmyer]

Hunter's speech was well done, but the number of Hunter supporters up front to watch it was significantly less than any of the candidates (except John Cox who really doesn't count.) I don't agree with Hunter on trade issues but like him otherwise. If, as so far appears likely, he doesn't win the nomination and the GOP manages to win without him then Hunter deserves Cabinet consideration.

The official results are currently being delayed by the Cindy SheehanRon Paul campaign. If you judged "his" campaign by the acts of his alleged supporters today and his foreign policy comments rather than by the boilerplate libertarianism of the domestic part of his speech Mother Sheehan would be proud of him. Their claims of voting machine problems and alleging fraud are straight out of the Rat nutroots handout and every bit as credible.

Wonderful speech. Duncan’s the man for the job.

[Calpernia]

Thank you Walter. I’ve not seen it yet.

[Dead Corpse]

Duncan Hunter bump...

[counterpunch]

So why is it that Duncan Hunter came in next to last, beating only the fake candidate Cox?

Hunter participated in the Straw Poll and was still beat by all the guys who didn’t. This Straw Poll was the one-percenters one and only time in the sun, and Duncan still couldn’t break 1%. He was trounced by Tancredo, even. So what gives?

[DakotaRed]

No matter what the media does and how much they continue to try to ignore him, Duncan Hunter Is The Most Consistent Candidate

Instead of waiting on Fred Thompson, allowing the media to push the moderates as the best bet, I've thrown my support behind Hunter.

When and if Thompson jumps in, I'd love to see both of them running on the same ticket.
