They keep touting Frank Luntz’s little graph but I want to see what his graph did when Hunter spoke about American Jobs for Americans. That line brought the biggest cheer of the night from the audience in attendance.
Interesting thing about Luntz: he's a SoCon through and through but he's not one to embrace markets and is suspicious of them. He "packs" his feedback control groups with like-minded conservatives. While I happen to believe that the SoCon wing may be larger (I don't know for sure), if the control group/feedback was from the general swath of conservatives, who knows what would have been seen. My guess is that you may have seen a strange pull in different directions as Hunter said different things while answering a question.
