Sounds like Huck has had his 15 minutes for now, the evangelical basin around western MI does not seem very interested, certainly not here.
Did Ehlers endorse anyone there?
Always operate in a way that takes into consideration the other person's self interests. It is often a clever way to disarm them and turn their negative energy back directly on them. LOL

I am sick and tired of these people who delight in disrupting Hunter threads.
It's one thing to counter policy matters-(which they don't & can't), but it's quite another to do what they're doing....nasty, angry tripe posted just to be obnoxious and disrupt the thread.
Good for you!....You're taking action!..Throw it back at them.
Thanks for the report. I only wish I was in a state that was some part of it, but no!
Not to mention Hunter has to be the ONLY candidate who actually writes his own speeches! The other’s have a script and it ironically comes from Hunter!
I will say that if I had to give credence to the term ‘electable’, I would think Romney shows the most promise for it of the candidates other than Hunter as he is more acceptable across the party spectrum and he could do well with uneducated general election voters and you’d be amazed how many women would vote just on that.
How many women would vote just because they think Romney is handsome. THAT is part of what you deal with in a general election.
The day after the first GOP debate in 07 Romney was interviewed by Michael Medved. He was asked about the other candidates' performance and mentioned only Hunter. He praised him and said he learned a lot from him.
Just wondering what he was doing. He dropped out months ago.
In some ways in Iowa Romney was a victim of his own success. Rudy and McCain pulled out of Iowa in April the moment Romney passed them in the polls and they realized they couldn't compete there. (He chartered all the in state commercial busses for the straw poll, forcing all the other candidates to pay out of the nose and hire out of state busses. Good old capitalism at work). That made space for bottom tier Huck to rise. The MSM has tried to focus on Romney's religion to the exclusion of his fiscal conservatism and business and leadership expertise. Huck's one note campaign has been the religion issue. The I'm the other religious guy. Thankfully the National spotlight brought out his liberal tendencies soon enough. Romney did come in a close second in Iowa though maintaining his delegate lead now. Romney has campaigned in the other guy's territory and draws enough support to do well in those places. The other guys have not cut into Romney's territory at all. It's why he will eventually win. Romney got a good chunk of the evangelical vote in Iowa, while Huck didn't even set foot in Wyoming. Romney came in a close second to McCain's most powerful state NH, while McCain knows he can't win the west over Romney. Romney has the ground organization in Florida (with Jeb Bush's campaign team working for him since early 07) to beat or come in a close second to Rudy. Rudy hasn't even campaigned anywhere yet.
Romney led Brownback in Kansas, his home state, as well. Eventually Brownback dropped out.
ooops! lol
