Nope.
No doubt that Duncan Hunter is a good man, even an admirable one, and the devotion that some folks have for him is laudable. Loyalty is a good thing.
But anyone who is thinking that there is a snowball’s chance in hedoubleell that he can get the nomination is simply indulging a delusion.
And anyone who defends such a delusion with vigor is SERIOUSLY delusional.
Even Duncan Hunter’s own campaign manager reckons Hunter hasn’t got a chance.
Actually it was the campaign’s Director of Communications, Roy Tyler, and here’s the quote:
“The chances of Hunter winning the candidacy are about as good as pushing a string through a maze.”
“The fact that Senator Fred Thompson came in second and, since he is not yet an official candidate, did absolutely nothing to try to win this straw poll, demonstrates his undeniable appeal to the party faithful.”
That is pretty powerful.
The fact is that I love both Hunter and Fred.
I’m happy.
