Can we please be realistic here?

There are wood planks in my garage that have more charisma than Duncan Hunter. And they didn’t vote for all that pork barrel spending either.

And no, charisma isn’t the most important quality in a candidate, but it’s very helpful to have a candidate with the personality that can develop the following you’re talking about. Aside from like 10 true believers on FR, he hasn’t done that and won’t do that.

We need a conservative with the complete package. We didn't have it in 2008, and until one appears on the scene, it will be an uphill battle. The field of 2008 holdovers who are bouncing around the country for the Republican Party are not the future of conservatism.

Duncan Hunter didn't vote for tons of pork, despite the oft repeated smear.
