Fred Thompson sucks and he is preventing Duncan Hunter from breaking out as a candidate. Indeed Thompson being in the race distorts Duncan’s true numbers.
No facts can change that regardless if they are true.
Give up and back Hunter...
Think of how proud YOU will be to be one of those who gets him from 3 - 4 percent to 4 - 5 percent...

I think Hunter simply probed a few soft spots in the campaign trail for publicity, while the real contenders were elsewhere. Illegal immigration is a hot button that all the candidates are willing to press, I don’t see a lot of leverage there.

To me the only guesswork, is whether he will drop out before Tancredo.

Actually from here it doesn’t sound like they are pressing those buttons much, perhaps because most of them have supported the “amnesty” approach to some degree or another in order to pander to the rich donors. And even if some of them do venture to give it lip service, to my knowledge he’s the only candidate who’s actually produced anything concrete (literally) to deal with the situation.

It seems surreal to me. I hear all this squawking about the “illegals invading” - yet the only candidates who are talking tough about it (Tancredo and Paul as well) are still in the low single digits. It must be because I’m a liberal and am used to being surrounded by rational behavior. Maybe this is normal on the Republican side. (There, that’ll give Mlipsky a formal invite to the conversation!)
