He needs to find a mic and a platform to speak from. We need someone like him doing analysis over the public air-waves over the next four years.
We ignored him during the primaries, he couldn't get the time of day from anyone and never had more than one or two percent of us in his court, I remember too many supposed conservatives telling me "he just doesn't impress me" or worse "who?" and the result was to be saddled with the execrable John McCain and the result was to be saddled with the emptiest suit ever to occupy the White House since Jimmy "there's nobody home" Carter.
The GOP is the conservative party, but conservatives are the red-headed step-children, expected to turn out on election day and otherwise be neither seen nor heard. I'll say this; either the GOP re-connects with its soul and principles or else it doesn't matter if they never win another election.
The man ran and nobody noticed, in other words it was already tried.
Duncan Hunter is retired, he spent 28 years as a congressman in a safe district, he voted right but never made an impression on anyone. Hunter never ran for office outside of his district, he never wrote articles or books, no one outside of his district including you probably had ever heard of him until he ran for the presidency in 2008 so that he could use the funds and the name recognition to insure that his son kept his seat in the family.
Duncan was my congressman, he is a great guy and a great congressman but he is not a charismatic leader of any movement, he was never a player in California politics, you saw the biggest impression that he ever made and you saw that he couldn't attract any attention, he finally endorsed Governor Huckabee, turned the 28 year Hunter seat over to his son and then retired.
