Duncan Hunter is 90% right on domestic and 90% right on national security, he also isn’t good enough..

Duncan Hunter just plain can't win for the same reason Paul won't: House members that are not in leadership positions (Speaker or Minority Leader) don't have a large enough base to run for the Presidency, and they don't have executive experience to run on.

If Hunter runs and wins a Senate seat (fat chance in CA) or gets elected Governor and can somehow corral the Demo legislature, that will make him a threat.

I know, the point was how Paul is held up as some uberConstitutionalist, uberConservative who is supposedly different and most of the other candidates are labeled as RINOs pr are just not Conservative enough (in comparison to Paul), yet, if you left the names and rhetoric out and just stuck the voting records out there, people may have a different take.

For example, of these four, identify who's voting record each is.

A.

B.

C.

D.

Answer: A. Fred Thompson, B. Rudy Guiliani, C. Ron Paul, D. Joe Lieberman - Source: http://www.ontheissues.org C.
