When Hunter breaks out of single digits in a primary, someone wake me up.

I’m sure he’s a great guy and all, but he isn’t going anywhere in the primaries. Some of us deal with reality before others apparently. Wishing don’t make it so.

Exactly. I like Hunter too. I wish he had a shot. But he doesn't.

Look folks, I know there are some Freepers who have convinced themselves that things like "national appeal" and "name recognition" are just shibboleths for compromising RINOs (here defined as "anyone who doesn't think Hunter is going to be the next President of these here Yooooo-nited States). But for those of us grounded in reality, these things not only increase a candidate's electability, but they also go a long way towards demonstrating that a candidate has the capacity to make a name for his or herself. Duncan hasn't shown that, on a national level. It takes more to be electable than just voting for defence appropriations.

And doing nothing to promote him or spread the word certainly don’t make it so. If he does become a 1st tier candidate, and there are many indication that will happen, it will because folks you dismiss are doing alot of hard work to make it happen.
