No he can't. Not if he's going to continue to try to run a "traditional" campaign; he's already relegated himself to failure.
Sorry to be harsh, but get a grip on reality -- he's been running for months, can't crack 2% in a national poll, has nowhere near the fundraising or organization -- or the ability to get either -- that the top-tier candidates have. House members with no elected statewide office don't get nominated. Period. if you want to change that traditional status, you can't play the same traditional campaign game.
Unless he radically changes how he's doing things, at best he's auditioning for VP or a cabinet position.

this was your reaction to DUNCAN HUNTER. i want to caution you -- NOT ALL the voices are in yet! you judge in haste! there is a large segment of the party, organizations and funds that are sitting back watching. they wait for those in the race to show what they are worth, what they are made of, to see who will stay and who will drop out.... they wait for the right TIMING and right OPPORTUNITY to place themselves, well positioned, behind their candidate for the primary. don't be so quick to judge, or think you know it all. not everyone has 'checked in' yet.
Naysay is not in my vocabulary.
Bill Clinton only had 2% in OCTOBER of ‘91, and this is only MAY 31st.
It’s way to early to give up on having THE BEST pro-life, conservative candidate, and I’m really quite disappointed in my fellow pro-life conservatives for giving up so easily.
I like Thompson, and will support him STRONGLY, if he is the nominee, but he does have flaws which I don’t like as he co-sponsored the McCain/Feingold bill, and I don’t like it that he was an actor in Law and Order, a show which I boycott because it is antiCatholic.
But I don’t expect a candidate to be perfect, and like Thompson far better than Rudy McRomney.
However, it’s way too early to give up on having a super conservative candidate on all counts, who has so much passion for the life issue, so I will contribute to Hunter’s campaign, write letters to editors, call talk shows, and post on FR for DUNCAN HUNTER!
