"I plan to vote for Duncan Hunter in the primary, but if he cannot gain traction, I will vote for Rudy."

Hunter's biggest job between now and the primaries will be getting as much face time as he can. As it stands, he doesn't have the name recognition to carry an election against a "popular" Dem, or even enough to beat Giuliani in the 'Pubbie primary.

The good news is that, if he does manage to get the 'Pub nod, he has a good, clean (there's that word again) personal background, so the only thing the libs and media will be able to attack him on will be his conservatie views. And that certainly won't hurt him with 'Pubs.

Well, Super Tuesday is a year away and that is a life time in politics. He is working hard campaigning. I am telling everyone I know about him.

So, I am not going to quit before getting started.
