MANCHESTER – Chuck Yeager says Duncan Hunter has "The Right Stuff."

So when the Republican's supporters felt wronged that their candidate was excluded from recent debates, the aviation legend took action. He teamed up with former U.S. Sen. Bob Smith, R-N.H., on Saturday to host a radio talk show for Hunter in an effort to reach thousands of likely voters.

"Duncan is the only one I know who is running for President who is not trying to buy his way into the White House," Yeager said in a telephone interview last night from his home in California.

Hunter, a congressman from California, is soldiering on in the grassroots spirit of the New Hampshire presidential primary.

"Mike Huckabee has his Chuck, I've got mine," Hunter said in Manchester. "He's got Chuck Norris on the ground. I've got my Chuck at 30,000 feet."

Hunter is a long-time member of the House Armed Services Committee, and past chairman. Despite being kept off stage in the ABC and Fox News debates this weekend, he placed third in the Wyoming GOP caucus Saturday.

Yeager has known Hunter for decades. His son served with Hunter in the Vietnam war. Despite his candidate barely registering in polls, he is not considering others at this point. Not even Sen. John McCain, another veteran with foreign policy experience.

"John McCain cries and whimpers too much," Yeager said. "No one has half the experience as Duncan Hunter."

Not to mention McCain likes illegal aliens more than US citizens.

His biography is one of the best gifts you can give to a young person .

You know, I’ve never read it, only short articles and blurbs. Might be a good gift to myself.

Myth Romney caught taking credit for Duncan Hunter's fence, in Romney's flier.
The information of Hunter's fence should have been in ..... Duncan Hunter's flier, etc.

Americans are STILL awaiting [crickets.....] for Romney to apologize for this campaign dirty trick,
or his campaign fake badges, or fake troopers, or socialized medicine, or .....
