As I said, I like Hunter, but I voted for Mitt instead of Hunter in the Michigan primary because Romney wasn’t McCain and Hunter had run in a number of primaries before and never got more than 2% of the vote in any primary. I don’t even recall Hunter campaigning in Michigan.
I see no reason why he would garner more votes in 2012. He will have the same problems in 2012: limited funds, lack of recognition, etc. When is the last time (other than Ford) when someone moved from the House to the Presidency?
