Hunter is going no place. Romney has a strategy that might work. He plans to win IA and NH plus MI, where is used to live. He feels that the momentum of those first three wins would be enough to push him over the top on Super Tuesday, particularly in the South where he leads in SC and NC. After Super Tuesday, it’s all over. He’s got money, he’s got great organization in those early states. Might work.
I agree that Romney has a strategy that “might” work even as he fails to enter the top echelon of candidates in polls. I disagree that Hunter has no chance at the nomination. Hunter is the best candidate and the candidate who is most in sync with the public in terms of his positions. He is patriotic, for the war on terror AND for fair trade AND is on his first wife, after raising good kids, and is a Christian AND was for enforcing the border and figuring out how to do it before the rest of us noticed there was a problem. I would consider a bet on Hunter winning the nomination better than a bet on Romney because Romney is a Mormon and that makes it almost impossible for him to win.
