You know, back when Huckabee was a second-tier no-hoper, I considered myself a nominal supporter of his. I didn’t think he had the slightest chance of winning, but my view was that it was too early to start strategizing and compromising and I might as well stick with a guy I really liked for as long as he was around.

About the time the “Huckaboom” took off, I wised up. Got off the Huck bandwagon at the same time a great many of my compatriots got on.

Anyway, the point is that I could actually see myself joining the Hunter camp with the same mindset I used to have as a Huck guy. But the bull-headed, fanaticism-tinged detachment from reality of his supporters turns me off.

Hunter Duncan is sadly burdened with a very poor class of supporter.

Far be it from me to praise pissant, as I am a supporter of Fred and have donated repteatedly to his campaign; and may I also state that I firmly believe that at least a fair percentage of posters who purport to support Hunter are actually trolls with malintent, striving to split and fracture conservative unity -- however:

... the bull-headed, fanaticism-tinged detachment from reality of [Hunter's] supporters turns me off.

For me, that quality is one of the things I trust and like most in the genuine Hunter supporters because I know they are real patriots. It frustrates me because mathematically it can throw the balance to the wrong guys, but I must also admire it. I can only hope two things: that their investigations in to Thompson's record satisfy them, and that they carefully ponder the math.
