Hunter stays in GOP presidential race

(CNN) – Rep. Duncan Hunter will continue his bid for the Republican presidential nomination despite his last place finish Thursday in the Iowa caucuses, his campaign manager tells CNN.

Good for Duncan. Even though I am supporting Mr. Thompson I am seriously glad Mr. Hunter is staying in the race. Yet another American with integrity. Bravo!

Why not? It's a free country, and Hunter has every right to present his views and offer himself to the voters.

Why not?

Zero national convention delegates have been chosen to-date.

We are just getting started. I barely got out the popcorn.

“Duncan Hunter is not a quitter!”

No, but is he smart enough to know when he’s wasting time and money? The MSM simply WILL NOT cover him and with that and no money, he’s done.

All that’s missing is the fork.

Everyone is waiting to see what Duncan does in Wyoming.

Also Duncan managed to get a surprising number of votes in Iowa, even though he had no organized campaign presence there. That in itself is very interesting. It shows that a few people are listening to his issues, which are indeed important ones for the nation, that no one else mentions in their proper context.

I’ll write him in for the general election, if necessary and possible. If Duncan Hunter will not be our next president, I will be generally disgruntled, non-voting and nonpolitical for longer than two more terms.

“We are just getting started. I barely got out the popcorn.”

I am very sorry. I can only imagine the pain of a Hunter true believer tonight. As a Fred-head, I worry about the day when he is faced with odds too steep to continue tilting at the windmill....but if his time comes, I’ll be one of those e-mailing and asking him to drop out rather than hang on in some vain attempt to look “tough.”

Look at Abe Lincoln's election record and personal setbacks before HE hit the big time.

I am not intimidated by Iowa, a state of 40 delegates only.

Duncan Hunter supporters and true Conservatives are made of STEEL.
