Hunter’s extremism on immigration is what did him in. Otherwise, he would have been a fine choice for president.
I don't agree with that. I think that whether people like it or not, charisma is a part of the game. It's not all that surprising. I think a whole lot of executives come from a sales background. They can close deals, bring in dollars, and they have charm/charisma. They can talk/persuade, flatter, they are calm under pressure, and they can get people to like them.
When I think of those things, I don't think of Duncan Hunter. Seems like a decent guy, but he just doesn't have the stuff. Issues had nothing to do with it, just as issues had nothing to do with Fred's collossal flop.
There you have it once again. Border security, enforcing immigration laws and dealing with criminal illegal aliens is extremist. The McCain position in a nutshell. Damn us xenophobes who believe in national sovereignty.
