Duncan Hunter
I think Duncan is a fine choice. But, it takes organization and money....neither of which he has. Money limits your choices not the GOP. McCain made sure that only the rich survive in politics.
I too love Duncan Hunter.
Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to have that gregarious type of personality needed to win the US Presidency.
Sure, he would get the solid 27-percent conservative vote. (perhaps 35-percent)
But in today's media-driven political climate, you need someone who can attract and KEEP 95-percent of the Republicans, along with at least HALF the squishy-middle independents and a few Democrats.
This might sound shallow, but it is a fact of life that a successful candidate (whether GOP or Dimocrud) needs a magnetic type of personality.
Say what you will about Romney, he has personality and charisma.
He is lightning fast on his feet, a great debater, and a wonderful looking family.
As conservatives, we must choose the most conservative candidate who has the best chance of winning.
It does us no good to have a solid no-nonsense rock-ribbed conservative candidate, only to lose due to lack of charisma.
