Most of the smaller candidates, are fringe. Those types tend to keep their “protest” voters no matter what they do. If they drop out, so do most of their supporters. The less than 1% that Hunter has, will more than likely move over to Tancredo or Paul. Paul is like Buchanan. He will more than likely stay in the race to take votes away and do the “third party” stunt. He was talking about going that route several months ago.

You really have the shallowest notion of politics. Hunter has been criticized for supporting too much pork, Paul the opposite; Hunter is a war hawk, Paul a practical isolationist.
Why don't you try going on a conservative website some time? Then you can read posts by real people who support each of these candidates and learn how they think. Here's a hint: "Hunter '08 / But Fred would also be great".
