Hunter has principles. McCain's sold his out so many times that even he isn't sure where he's going with his votes. Hunter would have been able to look Barry right in the eye and make a mockery of Zero's positions. There just wasn't enough contrast between Obama and McIdiot.
Agreed, Hunter had better principles than McCain, but the fact remains that in every poll taken, Hunter barely appeared on the radar. If the conservative base came full out for Hunter, well maybe, but could we win without the moderates in independents that probably would have been turned off by Hunter’s message?
