I think that she fears Duncan Hunter the most because he is the only true conservative that can rally the base and bring back the Reagan democrats with his call for restoring our industrial base and securing the borders.

It doesn’t make sense to attack a “second tier” candidate that can only help her in the long run. Have no fear, the media managed to miss the fact that Hunter was even in the debate despite the fact that his comment about “American jobs for American troops” clearly brought the best reaction from the audience of the night.

They are afraid of him. Back in the early stages of the race, some of the typical lefty-flaks (I'm thinking of "wonkette" in particular) tried to dirty up Hunter a bit, but quickly went silent. Why? I think it's because they were told to be quiet about Hunter in hopes that he would never get the national exposure necessary to win.

He CAN win. He just needs to be seen and heard by the people. The media (and the RNC to a lesser extent) is all about making sure that doesn't happen.
