Make that the number of people who have SEEN him to even consider being excited is neglibible.

And there's a reason for that...

You mix celebrity with substance and excitement.

No, I don't. In this day and age, you HAVE to have charisma or a very high "likeability" factor. I don't care if your "substance" is 100 PROOF ROT GUT CONSERVATISM, if you aren't able to "connect" to people, you will not get far. Hunter has got about as far as he's going to get on substance alone. Again, that's not a knock on him. He can't change who he is, and he shouldn't. It doesn't make him less of a conservative, person, or American, but if you think he's going to win simply because he's "got more conservatism than everybody else in the world put together!" you are terrible naive.

So you work on that Palin thing, I’ll work on Hunter’s campaign and we’ll see what happens.

LOL. You still don't get it. I don't have to work on anything. Palin is THE most popular GOP politician in America right now, bar none. It's not even close. If she becomes VP, that certainly won't change and she would hand Hunter his hat in a primary. He's going to beat a sitting VP that is wildly popular in a primary? The last cinnamon roll at Michael Moore's family reunion would have a better chance of survival. If she's not the VP and goes back to Alaska, she will only gain more experience and knowledge. Again, she got thrown into this thing without much warning and only did so because she was asked. She didn't seek it out. Hunter DID seek it out and didn't do squat. If Palin wants the nomination and has 4 years to get ready for it, she would cream any competitor and do it with a smile on her face the whole time. The day after the coming election, she IS the favorite for the GOP nomination, period. I bet if you asked 100 GOP voters on the day after the election, more than half would say PALIN for their 2012 pick. Hunter would do no better than he did during the primary, meaning he might get 1 vote, and there's no reason to believe that time would change that outcome. Palin and her support will only get stronger.

Popularity is fleeting. Principles and record aren’t. (Ask Rudy). And if you think a speech from Palin is more ‘exciting’ than one from Hunter there are three possibilities.

1) You’ve actually never heard Hunter give a speech.

2) You prefer “it” over meaningful words

3) You prefer a high squeaky voice over a baritone.

Not sure which it is, but a speech from the two is the difference between Reagan and Dan Quayle. Except Hunter doesn’t use a teleprompter or notes.
