Hunter should be doing far better than the Huckster, but he’s not. Why is that ?

[rmlew]

1. People like governors.
2. The media likes Huckabee, not Hunter.
(Fat to thin good. Anti-china bad)
3. Hunter is not as charismatic as Huckabee and not as concise as Tancredo.

Read the article. The answer is there.

Then, if you have the courage, do the right thing rather than the “popular” thing. Collectively if enough do the right thing, we’ll get a worthy candidate with the experience and fortitude of character demanded by the office. Remember that Ronald Reagan always wore his blazer in the oval office out of reverence for the presidency. It is not something to be bestowed frivolously on men we think might be popular with the cacophony of voices driving our media engine.

One last thing. Popular sentiment has no bearing on the right thing - you are not accountable to your fellow citizen or God for the result, only for what YOU do. I’ve just given Duncan Hunter another $100. I hope everyone who reads this sends a little something his way, for all of the reasons stated.

Now, won’t you join us and show some courage?

He would be doing much better if the activist base supported him. They don’t and it isn’t because of the “MSM”. He simply doesn’t inspire people, apart from some very loyal people on this forum.

If he can’t generate significant support from the base, what possible chance does he have with the general electorate?
