Dear sitetest,

I don't know. What does that have to do with Duncan Hunter?

Dear wireman,

The skepticism applied to Mr. Hunter because he has served only as a US Representative doesn't seem to be applied to the person often thought to be the current front-runner, Mr. Giuliani.

I don't think that anyone has ever been elected to the presidency who has only held the office of mayor previously. Yet, this isn't seen as a major hurdle for Mr. Giuliani.

Sitting senators rarely are elected president, yet this isn't much mentioned with Mrs. Clinton, or Mr. McCain.

I'm sure that given a little while, I could think up other combinations of characteristics that could describe people that have never been found in anyone previously elected president.

Thus, the whole "Congressmen almost never are elected to the presidency" thing seems a little spurious to me.
