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.
Yes , Bush was a turd. A turd chip off the old turd block , his old man.
