I give up, who is Old Man Cravath? :-}

[gidget7]

I am just pleased as can be to see a Republican running, as apposed to a moderate. I don't think a moderate can win. I love Guiliani, but he is too moderate on some issues, some of which are crossing the line to liberal. Same with Romney.

I saw him on C-SPAN this morning and I was very impressed. He expresses himself very well. But can a congressman win?

[jwalsh07]

Heck, Gore and Kerry almost won, certainly Duncan Hunter can!

[Torie]

That was considered the most "upscale" NYC law firm in my law school days, and it apparently still it.

[gidget7]

I wonder that too, but my wondering is due to folks here saying that House members don't get elected.

But then I thought, why not? Senators didn't either, until one did.

Duncan Hunter is my congressman. I also support him for the republican nomination. His views match mine exactly. (Pro-life, anti NAFTA, border protection). I could not ask for a better presidential nominee.

Duncan Hunter does have some baggage folks.

Randy "Duke" Cunningham baggage.

Figure it should be noted.

Glad to hear it from a constituent. I live in CT and can only dream about having a Congressman like Duncan Hunter.

Such is life though.

[jwalsh07]

That's fine. That is one of the purposes of the thread. Care to give us a synopsis?

[RockinRight]

Duncan Who??

(I know who he is, I'm just giving a preview of what America will say)

[Gideon Reader]

Rep Hunter is one of the good guys. He has served this country and his district well for years. His background as a soldier is one of courage and competency.
I am of the mind that he would be a "so so" Prez, but a startling good SecDef.

Just my opinion.

[jwalsh07]

Ah yes, I see. 1.5 extra large is a bit more than one gets at Legal Aid no?

[jwalsh07]

Why?

[Young Scholar]

I think it's been passed by Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz.

What firm are you with?

[jwalsh07]

Duncan Who??

Billy Jeff What?

[Young Scholar]

I had no idea he was so anti-free trade. I doubt he would have much of a chance anyway, but he'll have a very hard time winning the support of the pro-business wing of the party. I don't think I can support someone who is anti-free trade, since it draws into question his committment to other free-market principles, but we'll see who the alternatives are.

[jwalsh07]

I read your stuff. There is no "Duke Cunningham problem" contained therein.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Fine expect for the pork stuff

That's what Congressmen do. They respond to the needs of their constituents.

Everything is pork until it affects your district - then it's a necessity. "Cut that guy's pork but leave mine alone." That's just the way it is, it's hypocritical, it stinks, and I don't like it either, but what are Congressmen going to do? Tell their constituents to fund it themselves?

[Mr. Mojo]

Billy Jeff What?

And we can't forget....

James Earl who?
