Show me the so called Charisma of the other candidates.
He does have charisma. Compared to Fred, Mitt and McCain, he has it in spades.
Since Hunter is not an America-hating pro-illegal liberal, the MSM (incl Fox) are not going to give him attention.
Anyone who thinks it takes charisma to be successful in this election cycle must not be aware that Hitlery Clinton and John McAmnesty seem to be media favorites without any sense of charisma
I missed that debate too, but Nixon was elected twice after that debate so there goes that theory.
Hunter has more charisma than the others put together. Too bad he can’t be seen to show it. He’s well spoken, never misses a word or fails to make his point. He has a great sense of humor and looks like a man, not a metro Rino. I want a commander in cheif, not an appeaser, preacher or used car salesman.
The wit and wisdom of Duncan Hunter
(AP) Referring to Giuliani, Romney and McCain, Hunter said: “The guy who has the most influence with these three gentlemen is Ted Kennedy. We need to move away from the Kennedy wing of the Republican party.” Hunter
“I don’t need consultants to give me a conservative image.” Duncan Hunter
Hunter responding to Johnny Suttons’ remarks re: Campeon/Ramos:
HUNTER: You know, that’s about the weakest statement I have ever heard and about the weakest justification for saying that a guy is unarmed. So ask him. Pin him down on this thing. Say, did you search him, did anybody search him and so if you didn’t search him, how do you know he’s unarmed. And hit him with that. And, you know, the other question I’d ask him, if that’s true, how did those 600 people die in Nuevo Laredo, most of them in drug-related murders if guns weren’t used? Do these guys choke to death on their Wheaties in the morning?
Rep. Hunter makes use of child labor
We aren’t sure whether Rep. Duncan Hunter’s grandson is going to be class president or bully bait — it could go either way.
Hunter (R-Calif.) recounted in the Sept. 27 GOP presidential debate that the child, who is also named Duncan and called “D-3” by his family, has picked up some questionable habits from his grandfather.
“He walked up to his first-grade teacher about a month ago, stuck his hand out, and said, ‘My name is Duncan Hunter … My grampa’s going to be president,’” the senior Hunter said. “And then this little 6-year-old looked his teacher right in the eye, and he said, ‘Now, can I count on your vote?’ ”
Nurse Amy Salud, one of a platoon of nurses thanking Hunter for cheering their patients, shakes his hand and says they have met before. On a previous hospital visit? asks the congressman. “No, at the Miss Philippines Pageant,” says Salud. Hunter puts on a Scrooge face. “Ah, yes,” he says, “the Miss Philippines Pageant. I didn’t win.” Salud laughs.
He hands her a House of Representatives pen. He hands another to a bedridden patient. Hunter bends over and half-whispers, “It’s a congressional pen. It writes only in red.” The patient laughs.
Charisma is in the eye of the beholder.
Behold the collective blindness of the average voter.
