(Vanity) According to Intrade, the winner of today's GOP debate was... Duncan Hunter.

How anyone could have thought Thompson LOST ground during that debate is beyond me.

Hunter did fine but I really don’t think he did anything to increase his support beyond where it is.

[RockinRight]

Fred-hater alert!

[Petronski]

The smallest statistical increment they're reporting is .1. Hunter moved up to .2 from .1. Whee.

You've nailed it.

[Petronski]

For the first time there has been a measurable change for DUNCAN HUNTER, doubling in price and showing a major jump embedded in Iowa.Field with a 3.3 point jump.

I'll say again, "Iowa.Field" includes Hunter, Tancredo, LRon, and any other eligible candidate imaginable.

One cannot say who is responsible for the 3.3 point jump with any certainty without more information.

Pinging the list for you...

“So he knows what about being in in the middle of a war?”

Running the global foreign interests of the most powerful economic and military that has ever existed, isn’t much much enhanced by knowing how you personally felt as a young man in a dangerous position.

I don’t think that the combat experience of Jessica Lynch helps in ANYWAY to make her more able to manage the United States interests on the International level, than say Ronald Reagan, or Richard Nixon, or George W. Bush.

I don’t know anything about that trading stuff, but it’s certainly good news.

Not Really, kev is ok, just a little too in love with this In Trade stuff...

Let’s see. Intrade showed Huckabee with about the same amount of chance of winning the presidency in October. Now he’s at 10%.

In other words, the market was completely wrong then, but they're right now?

Using the failure of Intrade to predict the Huckabee "bump" doesn't help your sell anyone else on your Intrade obsession, complete with all of the assumptions you try to pass off as facts (such as your laughable "extrapolation" of the Paul and Hunter numbers).

Let's face it, the Intrade market may be fairly reliable at addressing a nominally 50/50 proposition, such as a two-person race. But the current GOP is so muddled that there's no bass other than emotion for the current trading values.

***That leader is Duncan Hunter. Accept no substitutes. :)***

Check my new tag line.

I don’t know if I like it yet.

Again...for that last time, explain to me how any GOP candidate not named McCain or Hunter is going to honestly look into the eyes of military men and women and their families who are dealing with their loved ones being in danger, and say, “I know how you feel. I truly understand your concerns, fears and sacrafice.”

None of the others can. They don’t have the leg to stand on. And guess what, that fact is going to be pointed out by every group working to get a Democrat in the White House, just like what’s been done to President Bush. Why not put someone on the ticket who can shoot down such rhetoric form the other side?

[wastedyears]

Hunter’s son is home now.

[LachlanMinnesota]

I’m there...

Came home around Thanksgiving, right?

The MSM has flogged all the candidates, and are behind the rise of Huckabee. Now that that field is just about played out, serious people will be taking a closer look. Huckabee has more holes in his campaign than Swiss cheese, and he really is going to tank with that “Jesus is Satan’s brother” crack. Shame on that false prophet!

Hunter is the winner in this Tortoise and Hare race. He is the Rock of Gibraltar when it comes to his positions, his character, his qualifications.

Clean hands, a spotless reputation, and a sterling character. I wish all the bozo conservatives would stop their nonsense and pay attention. We do have the best candidate, a man who can beat whomever the Dems nominate.
Duncan Hunter is the real deal.

[wastedyears]

I believe the very day.

“explain to me how any GOP candidate not named McCain or Hunter is going to honestly look into the eyes of military men and women and their families who are dealing with their loved ones being in danger, and say, “I know how you feel. I truly understand your concerns, fears and sacrafice.””

I served under Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan, I don’t remember that being what American foreign policy revolved around.

We are looking for a President of the United States, not a platoon Sargent.

YES!

DUNCAN HUNTER - you may not know his name...until you want to thank him!

"Duncan Hunter is like a cheeseburger and fries. Simple presentation with no frills."

Hahaha. McRomney is the fast food version, highly processed with no nutritional value but he sells well in China. Hunter is the $5.00 steak-burger your friend at the local shop makes, just how you like it, without any hidden metals. :)
