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' "

Hey Delusional. Protectionism is not a conservative trait. Please quit pretending that it is.
You need to graduate from remedial sandbox before you start using big words like that.
Go bug somebody on the Britney Spears thread, that’s more in keeping with your intellectual firepower (or I should say, the lack of it).
Wow, I’m as impressed with your post as I am with the guy that peels out when the light turns from red to green. IOW, not at all.
Thanks for the ping. B4DH.
Looks like Hunter picked up a delegate in Wyoming.
We should probably both ignore that mental midget and maybe save JimRob some bandwidth, ya know?
You can’t keep an Army Ranger down.
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.

ROTFLMAO! Pithy and snide! Well done!
If he did, I'd lose all respect for him, and never vote for him again. Not to worry, it ain't gonna happen.
Duncan Hunter comes in third in Wyoming! Now maybe true conservatives won’t be afraid to vote for him in the upcoming primaries!
Check out post #89!
Thanks pissant. Great news.
(Excuse me a minute; I’m gonna do a little dance.)
A Snoopy “Happy Dance”?:)
Well now, that is real nice, pissant.

P.S. You got our vote Duncan Hunter so keep right on campaigning.
Thank you.
I saw a rep from, I think, the American Taxpayers Union, on C-SPAN this am.
He said all the dems, Thompson, and McCain refused to sign the tax pledge.
Giuli wrote a letter promising he wouldn’t raise taxes.
All the other Republicans, Hunter, Paul, Romney, and Huckabee signed the pledge.
All of them are much more qualified than some of the loons with their name on the ballot.
It probably is, because my dogs are howling.
Duncan Hunter, the strongest conservative, was not invited to the ABC debate.
“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.”

Meanwhile the candidates who came in BEHIND Duncan Hunter in Wyoming are debatting, but Hunter is not.
Isn’t ABC dumber than dumb, though.
Not all were honored with the Semper Fidelis award by the United States Marine Corps
Not all (Not even Giuliani!) were honored with the Keeper of the Flame for keeping us safe through the 9/11 and our counter measure operation Iraqi Freedom.
Let me guess, you enjoy the Tiger Song?
