the rank and file nation wide primary voting republican did not know who Duncan Hunter was. (you know most people don’t watch the sunday shows...)

the man needed exposure he never got. He needed to make a name of himself and he didn’t. before the primaries, people said WHO?... now that the elections are over people still say WHO?...People knew who Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush 41 and Bush 43 were.....

in the last election people knew who Romney, Giulinai, McCain, Huckabee and Thompson were (unfortunate that Thompson did NOT have fire in the belly). Most of these were liberal republicans, with the exeception of Thompson.... No One Knew Who Hunter was(well not enough people did).

Right now people know who Jindahl an Palin are. They are the ‘conservative’ future unless someone else steps up and gets some EXPOSURE.

Declare them the future all you want but I think I'll wait till they make that decision for themselves first. Besides there are plenty of questions both will need to answer.

A few years ago, it was “Barack who”, so your premise falls flat. Those who refuse to learn from the past are just intellectually lazy and will accept who ever the media annoints as our “acceptable” candidate due to “electability” or what ever other media-created kool-aid the public will swallow.

Those who insist on a Governorship before a nomination also didn’t vote for the only governors in the race, FLIP Romney and Huckleberry from Hope.

We’ll end up with another “maverick” RINO if that’s what we allow to be the method for choosing the RIGHT candidate.
