I think you're convincing me that Hunter is better to rally behind. I'm just worried about the media being able to marginalize him...
I would certainly vote for Hunter over all of the Pubs currently running. However, he has the toughest challenge ahead of him. He has nothing to lose by surrounding himself with facts and figures as to how the lack of support for President G.W. Bush has cost American lives/treasure and has seriously hampered our efforts in the Global War on Terror.
If General Petraeus is able to stabilize Iraq, Duncan will be in a unique position to capitalize on his own constant support for the leadership of the POTUS. This, coupled with his excellent credentials on dealing with related issues such as border security etc., could cut across party lines in ways not unlike those that helped Ronald Reagan.
However, time is short; Hunter can't waste a minute in getting his name out there. I see no advantage for him in holding back. In fact, the bolder his campaign- the better. IMHO, all conservatives will benefit from an all-out press by Duncan.

Oh I agree. ""L'audace, l'audace, toujours l'audace." should be tattooed on the back of Duncan Hunter's hands. He absolutely must stand out from the crowd.

Another thing that Duncan Hunter has going for him----
We know that we will still be at war in 2008...the war on terror in Afghanistan, Iraq, and maybe Somalia or other places..
Duncan Hunter is a Vietnam veteran, and he has a son in the military in Fallujah...therefore, NO ONE will be able to accuse him of sending other parents' children off to war, when he hasn't either been IN the military, or had children in the military.
The top 3 DEMS, Hillary, Obama and John Edwards have had ZERO years experience in the military.

I'm definitely starting to see it your way. The question - How do we start getting his name out there.
