Months? LOL

He entered the race in Sept. 08 and quit Jan. 23, 09.

“He finished with 16 percent of the vote. Sen. John McCain won Saturday’s contest with 33 percent, followed by Huckabee with 30 percent.
Five candidates remain in the Republican race — McCain, Huckabee, Romney, Rep. Ron Ron Paul of Texas and former New York Mayor Rudy Rudy Giuliani.”

He could have beaten McCain if he wanted to. He didn’t want to.

No, I clearly meant that DUNCAN HUNTER stayed in the race for months after he was beaten. Please try to pay attention or go do something else.

Hunter announced his intentions to enter the ‘08 presidential race in November, 2006. He formally entered the contest in January 2008 and exited January, 2008. That’s months... And he never got more than 1% of the vote.
