Duncan Hunter Soldiers On Despite Iowa Results

He is the invisible man of the 2008 presidential campaign. Next to him Rep. Ron Paul looks over covered by the media. Yet California Rep. Duncan Hunter continues to campaign in New Hampshire, despite not even winning a single percentage point in Iowa last night. Although Democratic Senators Joe Biden and Chris Dodd who left the race last night, or Rep. Tom Tancredo who did two weeks ago, Hunter says he plans to continue his quixotic quest for the Republican presidential nomination.
"He is forging ahead using tried-and-true tactics for New Hampshire, albeit on a small scale given his meager campaign finances," Copley News reports. "Although he is essentially skipping today's Iowa caucuses and is overshadowed by just about every other candidate here, Hunter continues to talk of placing third - at least - in this state's first-in-the-nation primary on Tuesday."
"The only thing that stands between us and high numbers in the polls right now are media coverage and money," he said.
Perhaps.
Money would certainly help his quest. Although he has raised around $1.9 million overall, he has about $132,000 on hand, and is unlikely to raise more after his non-finish in Iowa last night. And he's not going to get much media exposure, considering he has been excluded from the two televised debates that will be happening over the next few days in New Hampshire.
"My motto in politics is never complain," Hunter said. "My trademark for 26 years has been, 'Don't whine. Keep working' "

Fred Thompson and Duncan Hunter, two conservatives who both campaigned in the Cowboy state, each won two delegates. Ron Paul, a Texan who also campaigned there and beat Giuliani in Iowa, won none.
I told you people to listen to me!

I have the live caucus results right here:
http://www.wygop.org/images/wy/nine%20da%202008%20form.xls
It says Fred Thompson won ONE delegate and ONE alternative.
It also says Duncan Hunter won ONE delegate and ONE alternative.
How is Duncan Hunter THIRD?

You were right!
This should motivate Hunter supporters to step up their efforts.

Meanwhile the candidates who came in BEHIND Duncan Hunter in Wyoming are debatting, but Hunter is not.
I could be wrong but I can't help but get the feeling somehow the media tacitly telling voters the media will decide who the candidates will be because the people are too stupid to decide will only help Hunter. It's tantamount to telling your teenager not to touch anything in the liquor cabinet while you and the spouse are gone for the weekend.

They have been doing that for decades, but now they are more blatant about it.

They are incorrect.
I just posted the results from the Wyoming website:

I couldn’t bring the Excel sheet over to FR. So I posted it on my blog and hotlinked to the sheet for downloading.

They may have crossed the line.

Duncan Hunter for President or no-vote. He’s a combat veteran and has long experience at working in favor of defense (as opposed, for example, to the State Dept.). Some of the others are, by their records, communist-preferring, Islamo-fascist-appeasing, lifetime civilians. I won’t vote for any of them for the times ahead.
