Here's the video that accompanies the online story:
Presidential candidate Duncan Hunter will hold a press conference in Washington Wednesday to discuss China's recent anti-satellite missile test.
According to a report, the Chinese military destroyed an aging weather satellite that was orbiting more than 500 miles in space. Hunter said that China's test "represents the commencement of a new era of military competition in space."
The San Diego congressman also said this country's war-fighting capability relies heavily on U.S. space assets, and we must take steps to "ensure our forces cannot be targeted through an adversarial space strike."

minor ping - could be bigger after press conference...
Beat me by 2 mins! Moderator, can you pull my duplicate?
Oh the humanity!!!
Well, it's about time for the "Duncan Hunter supporters are delusional" crowd to show up...
My advice to those folks, many who I like alot here is this:
Pick your candidate. Push your candidate. Now is the time for the battle for the direction of the GOP, not next year after the primaries. This is what politics is all about.
Good advice..I am pushing DH
It will be you, me and millions of other conservatives in due time.

Interesting that Free Republic's own poll is being FReeped by Newties.
Suggests that he has a hacker on his team.
In view of the implicit evidence of that, the composite should be ditched, and only the members votes should be counted.
He has my support.
I like Hunter,
but like Newt as well.
As far as Freeping a poll, Newt seems to have plenty of support at FR. Not to mention outside of FR.
Duncan Hunter for Prez! However, if Newt became the next prez, it wouldn't hurt my feelings. I just recently heard of Hunter, but everything I've discovered about him, I like.
DH is the man for the job! No baggage, good on the issues and most important a conservative. It will take some work but we have a year to get it done.
DH Ping.
