He is the man conservatives should get behind and I think he deserves his own thread to remind us that we do have a great candidate this time if we'd only realize it.

President Hillary
I think that the last man to go from the House to the Presidency was James Garfield.
In this media driven presidency there's no way he can be nominated.
I'm afraid the choice is: Rudy, McLame, and Romney. And Romeny's not a real choice. The media will NEVER allow a Mormon to be elected.
So, it's Rudy/McLame.
I can tell you right now, given this choice to face Hillary, I'm gonna take Rudy every time.
Somebody suggested Haley Barbour
That would be great
I'm still hoping we can have a "Newt" for president.
IF..you want a man who will make decisions in favor of the whole USA--Vote Duncan Hunter.
If you buy the Bulls**T put out by the machine of McCain, Juliani, Romney, or someone else who is tied to "Large Corporate Interests", vote for them.
His ONLY less than positive point is that he looks like he's mad all the time. He needs more smiling pictures. You know how much America is a visual society...these stupid things matter. Part of W's charm was that we felt like he was a guy down the street--one of us.
Other than that, Duncan has all the credentials, and can debate Hitlery with skills far superior.
sign me up!
I'm a Duncan Hunter fan. I sat next to him on a plane from Corpus Christi to Houston a few years ago. He's without a doubt one of the nicest men I've ever had the pleasure of meeting.
We chit-chatted about where we had been and where we were going. Mr. Hunter had been hunting in South Texas with friends. I told him he looked familiar to me and asked if he was a major league umpire, LOL! He was wearing a ball cap and that thought just blurted out of my mouth! It wasn't until I kept mentioning that he looked familiar that he finally told me that he was a U.S. Congressman from California.
Mr. Hunter changed the subject and wanted to hear about my story. My mother had just had quadruple bypass surgery in Corpus and my step-father was partially paralyzed from a serious stroke. The two of them were really in a bad way. He was so interested in their plight and kept asking questions. Before landing in Houston, he said that he would like to say a prayer for them. He grasped my hand and prayed aloud for the two of them. I was very touched and will always remember his kind and genuine nature. Duncan Hunter is a very good man and our country would be blessed to have him as our President.
i agree duncan hunter would make a fine president for 08 and beyond.
When was the last time a candidate jumped from the House to the White House? I would guess it to be more than a century.
I have never heard him talk. How does he sound? I have had about enough after 6 years listening to a guy I think I supported more than not who speaks with such a lack of precision that it's torture listening to him give an explanation of anything. Can Duncan Hunter rally the rank and file?
I don't think the Republicans simply lost the last election. I think they forfeited it through attrocious leadership and representatives at all levels that simply lost their way and morphed into Democrats.
The Republicans can win again when a candidate takes the reins who understands that the foundation of the party was turned off by bad representation, who has the credentials to say he isn't part of that cadre and who can make his case in an exciting articulate way.
Is Duncan Hunter such a candidate?
I do like what I hear from Hunter, but I doubt 1% of the population outside of California knows who he is.
Is he thinking of throwing his hat in the ring?
Hunter Bump
Thanks for the thread .. I am pretty clueless as to who is out there who are GOOD.. we surely here a LOT about all that are "available but flawed" now don't we?
No Congressman will make it
No mere congressman will be elected President.
Who knows how much further into the hole of oblivion Bush will dig the GOP into with his milquetoast "new tone in Washington" and the DNC in charge of Congress.
The dems have already begun to attack and define him. Do you have faith that the republicans will attack back?

Duncan in my rep.
I like Duncan.
He ain't gonna git it.
Duncan Hunter, or someone in that mold is the only way to get me to vote Republican again, ever. No more RATpublicans for this ole boy. Blackbird.
