Hunter saw the field last year - Rudy McRomney- all poison pills to large swaths of conservatives. He mistakenly assumed that he would get support from talk radio, the conservative media and forums like FR. He got only one of three. And so it goes.

He got zero out of three. Freepers initially responded warmly to him, then dumped him overboard the moment (less conservative) Fred Thompson's "potential" candidacy was in the works. By the time Fred finally got around to actually running, he had as much success being the "savior" of the GOP grassroots in 2008 than Wesley Clark had with the Dem grassroots in 2004.

And so it went, sadly.

The fact freepers were so willing to toss Hunter to the dogs in favor of a less-conservative (but supposedly more "electable") candidate that hadn't even announced, proves there won't be another "Ronald Reagan" in the near future. A man like him comes around only once in a generation.

So, the question is, how do we change that? I’m tired of being limited to bad choices.
