The conspiracy theory crap about Hunter has to stop. He ran a campaign that made Fred’s look like the greatest campaign ever.

There's no conspiracy theory. It's as simple as this. If Rush, Hannity, Hewitt, Levin, Ingram, etc. had given Hunter the kind of support that they gave Rudy/Romney or promoted him as the "alternative to McCain"--his campaign would have done a lot better. The campaign would have attracted more big-name firepower and more money.

As it was, he ran it on a shoe-string with almost all volunteers and political amateurs and had to fight tooth and nail just to get mentioned with Rudy and Romney on the big talkers.
