The problem isn't lack of conservative candidates. The problem is too many egos dividing up the conservative vote. Duncan Hunter is clearly the best choice-- he has military experience (which Newt lacks) and lacks zipper control problems (which Newt has).

Duncan Hunter needs to get a job with paychecks that come from ADP, not from the US Treasury. I would vote for the guy, don't get me wrong, but it wold be nice to have someone who has done something outside of government.

Check out Hunter's biography.

He worked in the private sector from 1976 until his election to congress in 1980.

Four years is better than probably most people in congress. Yes, it would be nice to see more.

In fact, if I were the king of the country, I'd make it a rule that a person had to spend one year in the private sector or on active military service for every year they spent in public office. All high level bureaucrats would have to be hired from the private sector and could spend no more time in government service than years they had experience in the private sector. And mandatory retirement age for all those at mid level and below would be age 40.
