I guess I will plead to being seduced by his resume and his media skills. After the last decade of watching painfully PR inept Republicans, I desperately long for a Newt or a Haley Barbour or a Reagan to step up to the plate as an unapologetic, passionate supporter of Convervativism.
I also see a political angle. This sneering dismissal by the Washington Political Media complex as as a "no chance" candidate HELPS him with the Conservative base. The Base neither likes nor trusts DC nor the Junk Media. Being disliked by them is resume enhancement for a Conservative.
So down side? Well of course political baggage. He is a Congress critter and has a voting record. But then SO DOES every single candidate being put forward. So is Hunter perfect? NO but he is the best we got NOW and until someone better comes along I suggest people start seriously considering him.

I just reread my last post to you...and it came off as way too harsh.
I meant it more as a joke...
I think though, that I am beginning to see what you are saying....there does NOT seem to be anything close to a chance for a concensus GOP favorite...even here on FR, let alone across America.
Morgan and others say we should wait and see who shows up...but, I fear that the "rules" have changed...because the MSM have decided they should change, by anointing Osama Obama so early.
Other than someone like Rick Santorum....I am having a hard time thinking of any one conservative that could come in next year....or even closer to the end of this year, with enough name recognition....and poor, Santorum, he is not good enough cause he was a SENATOR!!!
