Allright, when Fred falls to 3rd place in the nationals, you can jump on Hunter’s wagon. It won’t be too late.

I wish Hunter would raise 4.5 million $ in one day like Ron Paul.

I can’t help him much there.

Fred Thompson is not Duncan Hunter’s problem. Rudy is.

I guess if all the Thompson and Huckabee folks went for Duncan he’d be looking good. But, most of them will just accept the fact that the Republican establishment is going for Rudy.

I heard from one of the “Pioneer Fundraisers” that is the case.

Pissant, let me ask you a question. Why is it that you actually think Hunter has a popsicle's chance in a sauna of actually winning the GOP nomination? Mike Huckabee, who was actually below Hunter (I know, doesn't seem possible) has skyrocketed past him, as has Ron Paul. Thompson wasn't even running and had roughly 20 times the support that Hunter had at his "peak", and even now, he still thrashes DH. What earthly reason do you possibly have to think that Hunter is suddenly going to come flying out the gates and win it all?

He’s already dropped to 4th Place in a national poll. And he is just about to drop to 5th Place as Huckabee passes him on his way up.

Or maybe when Fred falls below Hunter we can all jump to Hunter. In the mean time, I'm going to support a good conservative candidate who can win against Rudy and Hillary and who has just received the endorsement of National Right to Life. The odds are very high that Fred will also receive the NRA endorsement and either or both will translate into additional exposure and support at the polls.

Hunter has had his shot and it is now clear that his numbers will not rise above Fred's in this primary election. Duncan Hunter will not win a single state. The time has come and gone for idealism and we need to dig in and pick a conservative to support to defeat Rudy. With the exception of a few here who will hold out forever, I think most are aware of this and the river of support, including those who have remained undecided, is flowing toward Fred. But I'm sure we can count on you and handful of others here to not just tout your favorite candidate, but wholeheartedly trash Fred Thompson who is our best hope at running a conservative and trusted pro life candidate against Hillary.

Rudy's winning strategy in the primary is to gather a large percentage of the vote from the 9/11 nostalgic crowd, garner most of the vote from the liberal to moderate wing of the party, and pretend to be just conservative enough to fool the fools. As for those of us who are not fools, he thinks he can do an end run around us because we will divide the conservative vote of the base among at least 3 and hopefully 4 candidates making it ineffective. We need to be smarter than he thinks we are to win.
