To much of his supporters dismay, he will endorse Fred.
Interesting. Thanks for posting. Good comments about Duncan Hunter from Ed Morrissey.
Are you channeling his vibes?
I think he will endorse McCain. I guess we’ll find out.
As well he should. Fred is the only one in the race that is anywhere close to Duncan's conservative credentials.
But still considerably far behind.
No doubt. But, unfortunately, Duncan never could get any traction. He would make one heck of an official in a Thompson administration though!
I HOPE he’ll endorse Fred. But you never can tell until you hear the statement.
Look who Tancredo endorsed.
Another possibility is that he might not endorse anyone at this time.
Too bad they never let him "in."
If that is so, what choice do real conservatives have? Oh, well. I can support whomever the nominee turns out to be, just not enthusiastically.
He callef McCain the “Kennedy-wing of the Republican Party”. He won’t support McCain.
I believe he will support Huckabee. Mike Huckabee said that “Duncan is extraordinarily well-qualified to be Secretary of Defense”
Does anybody else see a Thompson-Hunter ticket in the future (assuming Fred can get the nod)?
A. Lincoln's only national elective office was a single term in the House, but it was well over 10 years prior to his election as President. Other than that, his only "experience" was a few terms in the state legislature even earlier.
HUNTER STAYS!! on CNN
Hunter is a victim purely of name recognition and political achievement. The only congressman ever elected president was Garfield, and only after he was picked on the 36th ballot convention and was well-known for having shelved a shoo-in Senate bid.
He would then have national recognition and then on to the White House.
No!
“I’m NOT quitting” Duncan Hunter
That is the type of man I thought he was.
Well, now that you mention it, I've said since the gitgo that Hunter was the most Conservative, followed by Thompson, and that since Thompson's appeal is much, much, much wider than Hunter's, I supported Thompson/Hunter all along. (see tag line)
Sheesh...CORRECTION! Lincoln also elected from the House...but he had plenty of name recognition because of his Senate election bids with Douglas.
