Those of us who already know Rep. Hunter have heard him speak on multiple occasions. The vast majority of American voters have not, so the border, the chi-con, and Duncan Duane are news to them. And they are right now the main core of Rep. Hunter’s message.
I know what you mean. But let us remember that this was one of the first times he had an opportunity to speak at length on TV without being rudely cut off. In his Iowa speech I kept waiting for him to talk about something new, or use a fresh approach to what to us is an old subject. Hopefully he will begin to do this in the near future, when the majority have heard him and know where he is coming from.
Huckabee has a way with wit and words which charms. But Huckabee is not a conservative. I don’t want to be charmed by my president. I want one who is substantive, completely believable, and who is truly able to be in charge. I am sure you feel exactly the same way. :)
P.S. Rep. Hunter must rely on a campaign staff which will begin to develop strategy, inform the populace of his coming appearances well in advance, and, in short, do the sort of thing we do here on FR, GET THE WORD OUT ON HIM TO THE VOTERS. So far it would seem that staff needs to wake up! This amazing man can do a great deal, and also show up on the floor of Congress, but he can’t be expected to do it all.
PING my #693 and #694.
