I have witnessed a hugh fight between Hunter supporters vs Fred supporters. It is getting pretty ridiculous and thought this would be a great way to discuss this.

I’ve learned a lot about Duncan Hunter because I’ve seen him at work. I don’t really know much about Fred.

Fred actually can win. Duncan is a genuinely good man and would make a great SecDef.

Note:

No one from either side should flame the other. Support your man. Support conservatism. Do not run down our conservative candidates. May the best conservative win.

Thanks,

Jim

They are both way ahead of the pack in my mind. I’d like to see them team up for ‘08.

It looks like a win/win to me. I refuse to punch any holes in what might turn out to be my life boat, with McCain being the slight exception.

I like them both. I just think Fred has more name recognition, and thus a better chance to be the nominee.

I don’t get all the infighting this early over particular candidates.
