I wish that Duncan Hunter had dropped out and endorsed Thompson a while back. Hunter is a fine man, but was never a viable candidate.
You’re right.
Hunter and his supporters are what prevented conservatives from rallying around Thompson unanimously.
Unfortunately Hunter has had his own motives, and was never interested in helping conservatives regain control of the GOP.
Oh I am sick of hearing the *viable candidate* CRAPOLA! If all the Fred-heads had stuck with Hunter instead of wasting time and money nursing a lukewarm guy who was (is) a stalking horse for McCommie, then we might have attracted the true conservative base and beat back the bias of the MSN. Instead, we*ve lost the best man and have the devil to pay next Nov. Our hope here in CA is that Hunter just might run for governor and win.
Hunter supporters got to experience what Tancredo supporters did a month ago. Soon, Thompson supporters will also taste disappointment. There will be nowhere left to go.
If Hunter and Tancredo had endorsed Thompson before Iowa, that might have helped Fred.
