I supported Congressman Hunter and am sorry to see his campaign end, although I believe he made the decision he thought was best. I do not plan to support in an active manner any other candidate. However, if one of the other candidates were to pick up Congressman Hunter as a running mate, then I would very likely be an active supporter of that ticket.
I'm a Ron Paul supporter, but Duncan Hunter is an awesome guy and gave us the best moment of the 2008 election when he called a press conference to call media executives "knuckleheads" for not including him in the debates even though he had more delegates than Rudy Giuliani. The media scrambled to cover that expecting him to drop out, but boy were they surprised. I was hoping he'd stick around if only to keep things interesting like that, so he will be missed.
Well this goes to show that people of both parties want a nanny state. When will we ever grow up and take responsibility for our own lives.
But on the other hand, maybe we can convince him to run for govenor here in the PRCal.
What has happened to our party? Conservative Southerners passing over Fred Thompson for the father of the Amnesty bill we fought so hard to defeat? Ron Paul supporters who actually think he is a conservative? War Heroes like Duncan Hunter who can't get the time of day.
