There were two huge things that Duncan Hunter did NOT have, name recognition and credibility. I liked him best also, but he never had those two important things. It’s too bad. He would have been great if he had those two extra qualities.
He also had shown no leadership qualities, though he was running for the ultimate leadership position. The same is true of Fred Thompson. They are number one and two with me as to their positions, but the leadership just isn't there.
Credibility? And Huckabee does? Hunter spent his time responding to news commentators about “Why are you still in this contest” - this was from day 1. I fault Hunter for not framing himself better like Ron Paul does. Paul doesn’t put up with crap, and I wish Hunter hadn’t been so dang polite.
