pissant knows I disagree regarding Medina; but I don’t disagree about Hunter. He was our conservative candidate.
I supported him initially. Until his polling went nowhere. Then I jumped to Thompson. After that it was no one until McCain added Palin. I don’t have a problem with Hunter. I do have a problem with allowing preference for someone to override judgement about their chances for higher elective office.
Ex. I have some issues with Palin but overall like her. I don’t think polls right now mean much of anything but I don’t think she is a lock for a nomination let along winning the W.H. if she was. If there are no other conservatives and she isn’t polling well then I favor supporting the long shot anyway. If there are other conservatives with a better shot, I’ll jump ship to the one polling higher even if they weren’t my first choice. It’s not about the person with me. Not anymore. At one time it was, but I learned my lesson with G.W.B. Loyalty to an individual will not come before success at pushing a conservative agenda and my allegiance will be with the conservative who polls best in ‘12 whether or not my heart is with that person or not.
