Are you kidding? Criticisms of Hunter on this thread have been few and far between--just a couple of the usual suspects trashing him for not having the proper pedigree. If you want discord, check out any of the Rudy McRomney threads...

What does criticism or discord have anything to do with what I posted on #131? Nothing in my post suggests that.

From my post:

“However, if the posts on this thread made almost 10 hours ago is an indication of Hunter's ability to unite conservatives (in a primarily conservative forum,) just imagine how he will be viewed by the general voting public.”

OK, so let me clarify this for you. It's now been not 10 but over 35 hours since you posted this thread and you got a bit over 200 posts. My idea of unity isn't a pat on the back between buddies, but the merger of the political support of LOTS of conservatives. In other words, I was expecting hundreds of posts, especially in a mainly conservative forum where the idea of a real conservative running for the presidency would be greeted with excitement and enthusiasm, generating lots of replies.

Also from my post:

“Anyway, I will support him and I will continue to support Rudy, and let's see who fares better in the public arena, because in the end, the one who has more acceptance among the GOP is the one who will win the primaries.”

Exactly, the one who garners the biggest support in the GOP (as in the amount of votes) will win the primary. Discord doesn't produce a winning candidate, but acceptance does, as I mentioned in my earlier post. Hope this helps.

I guarantee you that this thread would have gotten a lot more responses if I had made the title:

Duncan Hunter on the issuse [Possible GOP presidential candidate?]

Or something like that. Immediately after I posted it, I regretted not doing so.

Even so, this thread has gotten a lot more traction than I thought it would.

I'm a glass half-full type of guy...
