Duncan Hunter: “I got to know Governor Huckabee well on the campaign trail,” said Hunter. “Of the remaining candidates I feel that he is strongly committed to strengthening national defense, constructing the border fence and meeting the challenge of China’s emergence as a military superpower that is taking large portions of Americas industrial base.”
“Along with these issues of national security, border enforcement and protecting the U.S. industrial base, I see another quality of Mike Huckabee’s candidacy that compels my endorsement. Mike Huckabee is a man of outstanding character and integrity. I saw that character over the last year of campaigning and was greatly impressed. The other Republican candidates have many strengths and I wish them all well. My personal choice is Mike Huckabee,” Hunter concluded.
HUCKABEE only mentioned one person for Secretary of Defense, DUNCAN HUNTER:
What you do, he [Huckabee]explained, 'is surround yourself with the best possible advice. The only name he [Huckabee] mentioned was Representative Duncan Hunter of California. Duncan is extraordinarily well qualified to be secretary of Defense, he [Huckabee] said.
Hunter undoubtedly had a closer look at Huckabee than conservative media commentators who have never met Huckabee or people commenting on a forum who have never bothered to research original sources or take a close look at what Huckabee actually says rather than what others are saying about him.

Hunter first endorsed himself, and we saw how far that got him. LOL
