As if Duncan Hunter has the slightest chance of winning the nomination?
***Kerry was at ~4% also this time around in 2003, and no one had heard of Jimmah Carter at this point in time before his race. Voters are just now starting to pay attention.

Personally, I’m ashamed of some of my fellow Christians who are favoring Huckabee, aka Bush III.
***The support for Huckabee is coming from the evangelicals. Dobson recently came out ‘vigorously’ denying that he endorsed Huckabee, and he has been silent on Hunter.

Just think if he endorsed Hunter this week.

Generalized outcomes of the meeting:

Most in the room supported Mike Huckabee. A few important figures supported Duncan Hunter.

Both democrats. The GOP has no history of electing "unknowns".

Besides, need I remind you that both Kerry and Carter had won statewide races before? And that neither had been actively campaigning for nearly a year at this point?

Name one Republican longshot in the primaries who has ever won the nomination. Even one? Also, Kerry and Jimmah both won statewides - DH has, so far, only contested House elections in an overwhelmingly friendly district. Not exactly the iron man of courage the DH people try to depict him as.

This is exactly what I find so distasteful, that some (many?) evangelicals support Huckabee over Thompson. Huckabee may very well be a decent Christian, but he’s definitely NOT conservative.

I argued here many times that most Christians oppose big government. I’m starting to believe I was mistaken, because some apparently prefer to use the power of the federal government to force their own agenda on America.

Fred Thompson believes in federalism. That means limited government and individual liberty, and those are key conservative concepts worth supporting.

What kind of country will we ultimately have if it comes down to which side can best use the power of the federal government to squash its opposition? That way leads to tyranny!
