Not a bad overview of Hunter. Though they mention the border fence, they failed to mention he actually wrote the bill.

And, they left out his perfect record on the 2nd amendment and taxes.

He has a couple of good official endorsements like Chuck Yeager and some good unofficial endorsements from Anne Coulter and Michael Reagan.

Great news...thanks!

based his campaign on “three pillars”:
his national defense credentials,
his emphasis on sealing the country’s borders to stem illegal immigration
and his pledge to crack down on China’s trade practices.

Great and important pillars!!!

Duncan Hunter's national defense credentials alone should have elevated him to number one! There is something seriously wrong here.

Your endorsement counts a great deal to me. Shall I retire my tagline seeing as how you are endorsing another? ;*)

Also, don't forget Sen. Bob Smith's endorsement.

The man Is simply the best. What is it that America fails to see? Are people dumbed down to the point that they only pay attention to who is making noise by the poll numbers? Duncan Hunter is the only one to actually show Reaganesque qualities, and that actually has leadership skills (tell the others - "it's not leadership to check the political winds of the press").

My money, and vote are on for Duncan Hunter!

The question is, can Hunter rally Tancredo’s supporters, Tancredo’s endorsement for Romney notwithstanding?

14-term congressman Duncan Hunter is trying to build a presidential campaign on his sturdy conservative credentials on defense and security policy at a time of war.

Thanks for the ping. B4DH.

Huckabee has surged because he won a couple of debates and he’s got evangelical support. If a quick rise can happen to the liberal pro-life evangelical Huckster, it can happen to the conservative pro-life evangelical Hunter.

According to Intrade, the winner of the December 12th GOP debate was... Duncan Hunter.

“He has a couple of good official endorsements like Chuck Yeager and some good unofficial endorsements from Anne Coulter and Michael Reagan.”

Didn’t Henry Hyde endorse him, too? and now Bob Smith. Hunter has had some pretty solid principled conservatives in his corner.

From OP: “He has also vowed to appoint only judges who oppose abortion rights to the federal bench.”

Hear that, my fellow social conservatives, and Duncan Hunter has a 26-year pro-life history to back up what he says - NO FLIP FLOPS.

Duncan Hunter: “when reviewing judicial applicants, any candidate for the bench who can view a sonogram of an unborn child, and not see a valuable human life, will not receive my appointment. This has been my position throughout my career and will be strongly emphasized in my Presidency. I will continue to make that known and continue to solicit co-sponsors in my legislation that establishes legal recognition of the unborn at conception.”

AND Hunter introduces the personhood-at-conception law each year, and much more pro-life work.

Yes he did, and thank you for reminding me about that.

Hunter’s support will snowball if he has a good showing in Iowa, New Hampshire, Michigan, Nevada, Wyoming, etc., the early primary states.

Call a talk show that airs in any or all of these states, write an editor’s letter and contribute to Hunter’s campaign.

Let’s not let the RonPaulbots outdo us. :)

I agree, Hunter doesn’t necessarily have to win. But if he makes a strong showing, surprising the pundits and the media, he will garner some richly deserved attention. When people learn about Duncan Hunter, they are easily sold on him. Especially since none of the front runners are walking away with the nomination. People really are not satisfied with their choices right now. But then, they have yet to hear of Duncan who? :)

Duncan Hunter is the best candidate by far.
