I've narrowed my policy issue interests considerably in the past few years to two or three - with illegal immigration at the top of the list.

So far Fred & Duncan are the ONLY GOP candidates with guts enough to speak unequivocally on the subject, and only Fred is within range.

No doubt about it. Fred has a good patter.

What he lacks are executive experience, energy, proven ability, and a record of accomplishment on immigration matters.

Hunter, on the other hand, although likely unelectable, has deeds to back up his mouth.
