I agree. His strategy should have been to focus on states the other candidates are ignoring and where his message is likely to resonate. He can't compete directly with the big boys, so he needs to run a guerrilla campaign. He hasn't raised much money, but he's spent even less, so he should be able to last as long as he wants. That gives him some options.

His only chance is to have a surprise showing in Wyoming and/or Nevada, and for no clear frontrunner to have emerged by February 5. Probably the best he can hope for is to enter a brokered convention with some delegates to deal with, but even that would be quite a victory for Hunter. It would give him leverage to influence the platform and perhaps even influence the nomination. It would certainly give him the credibility to run for higher office, and perhaps even take another stab at the White House some time in the future.

Duncan Hunter should spend all of his time in Wyoming, Nevada, Idaho, the Dakotas and Montana. Then he’ll have something to show at the convention and he can make some sort of deal where he promises one candidate his delegates in return for being the next Secretary of Defense or Attorney General.

Clicking this on the Wyoming GOP page will let you download a spreadsheet with info on current results from Wyoming. It is actually located on this page... here. Look for this...

Here at work we monitor both FOX and CNN. Both are, as I type, babbling on about NH "First Primary." Not a SINGLE word about Wyoming. But hey, no bias there huh?

Yes, FOX and CNN are a disgrace.
