Well, when Fred drops out, I will be keenly interested in your reaction. ROFL.

We have no crystal ball, but the odds are that Hunter will leave the race before Fred. The truth is, you are so resentful that Fred has more support than Duncan, you are willing to sacrifice the whole game to liberals. If Hunter does not win, you want to do all you can to make sure it’s not Fred, either.

We are one day before the Iowa caucus and it’s not Fred’s fault Hunter has not been discovered. It’s Hunter’s fault. If he wanted to be President, he should have at least become a Senator. Voters don’t select Presidents from the House of Representative. They only represent districts. With few exceptions their name recognition is almost nil. Senators and Governors represent states. They are better known and have wider areas of responsibility.

In addition, for all the criticism about Fred's campaigning, Hunter has campaigned less aggressively and spent less time fund raising than Fred. If Duncan really wanted this, he should have devoted full time to it. And yes, I know he still has a day job in the House. But to gain the big prize as a relative unknown, he had to know he could not keep his seat and run at the same time. [Ron Paul is the exception because, as the only antiwar candidate in the race, the antiwar crowd literally picked him up and ran with him. Even with that, he still won't win.]

So here we are. Two conservative candidates for us to choose from and you are going to devote your time to the tearing down of one of them because most of the nation cannot name yours or recognize him from a photograph. Sure, you can continue to blame Fred because you can't bring yourself to place the blame where it belongs, but you really do know the truth.

I won't be "ROFL" but will be very interested in YOUR reaction when Duncan Hunter drops out. Who will you put your support behind then?

Just curious, pissant - let's say that the absolutely, unimaginably impossible yet magically oh-so-likely thing happens, and Hunter manages to get less than 1% in Iowa, New Hampshire AND South Carolina, and drops out.

1) Who do you think he would endorse, of all the other GOP candidates?

2) Who would YOU support, without Hunter in the race?
