Ron Paul in, Duncan Hunter out. The GOP has officially jumped the shark.
I do not know Duncan Hunters strategy. However, he may yet surprise us even before New Hampshire. Because he has campaigned in Wyoming, which has a race before New Hampshire, and no one else is campaigning there.
Wyoming to Hold Overlooked GOP Caucus Before New Hampshire

Then theres New Hampshire. Hunters already there while everyone else wraps up in Iowa. Its conceivable that he will have momentum.
Huckabee has surged because he won a couple of debates and hes 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.
I think you posted that on another thread, honestly, Montana? That wouldn’t even get 3 minutes on a news cycle, you need to face it that it’s over for Hunter, he might be a good man, the best guy to be president, but it’s just not in the cards ... (I’m not saying it’s fair either)
If a quick rise can happen to the liberal pro-life evangelical Huckster, it can happen to the conservative pro-life evangelical Hunter.
Only if Hunter can borrow somebody’s personality. Huckabee may not be as conservative but he is much more personable, likable and is interesting to listen to, even if I don’t agree with much of what he has to say at times.
We have figured them out in amazing detail, and can almost predict their every move, thus thwarting them and causing them to lose power.
We brought down DAN RATHER for Pete's sake! (Hat tip to ol' Buckhead).
And then, all that goes down the toilet when so many vast segments of Free Republic buy, lock, stock and barrel, the liberal MSM's blackout of candidates who would be the biggest danger to them and liberalism--guys like Duncan Hunter. And end up parroting the MSM's own propaganda: "He Cannot Win".
I just don't get it.
Even today, you will find "conservatives" on FR APPLAUDING the fact that unarguably the most solid Conservative--without being a nutcase with questionable baggage--in the race, Duncan Hunter, is excluded from the MSM controlled Saturday night debate in New Hampshire that could have a major impact. What is wrong with this picture, folks.
This is a very sorry state of affairs if you ask me.
