Duncan should have served in senate or governor first. Or serve as somebodys VP and then run.

You know, I used to criticize Hunter on this, but the more I look at it, the more I realize that "executive experience" is irrelevant, especially in this unprecedented election.

Being in Congress has given Hunter invaluable foreign policy experience. And what's the primary role of the President? Why, to interact with foreign nations as our official spokesperson. Trade, foreign policy, military affairs...these are all executive office issues. Yes, budgeting too is important, but shouldn't the vast majority of domestic policies be handled by the states and their Governors anyway?

So yes, I would say that Hunter has more experience than Mitt Romney or Giuliani or Huckabee. The notion that Congressmen "can't win" is a self-fulfilling prophecy pushed by the establishment and their media lapdogs. Personally, I'd trust a Congressman for President first than a Senator.
