In case you haven’t heard. WND’s power house Joseph Farah has endorsed Duncan Hunter for President. It’s a significant endorsement but not likely to get any press coverage from the MSM. So that leaves it up to us bloggers to get the word out. To all who yawn and say “so what. Big deal. Hunter doesn’t have a chance”. Call me naïve but I continue to think Hunter can make a difference. Even if he doesn’t take the nomination, he can influence the direction that the GOP takes. How so you ask?
Lets not forget that Hunter ran away with the Texas Straw Poll back in September. And keep in mind that Texas is second only to California in electoral votes. Texas has 34 electoral votes. And Texas, I believe, has a binding primary. What ever the results of the primary, well the delegates must vote that way at the convention. If Hunter can take Texas and 2 or 3 other states, say on Super Duper Tuesday, he could wield a lot of power at the convention. And if he’s ignored and dis’d he can run (or threaten to run) as an independent. Believe me, it won’t come to that because Hunter is so very well liked and respected by all the other candidates. He’d be offered a VP or cabinet post. Or even better he could demand that some of his positions be adopted by the nominee. Example: Build the Fence! Enforce existing immigration laws! No Amnesty! And get tough with China and other nations on fair and equitable trade.
Remember the GOP convention is not till September 9th! A lot can happen between now and then. Would anyone have thought that Huckabee would be at the top of the heap 2 and a half months ago? So who knows what the situation will be in the next few months. All of the primaries are in front of us.
So lets not write Hunter off just yet. I have it from a good source that Duncan will stay in the race until the convention.
The Hunter Campaign needs money folks. Corporate America does not want a Duncan Hunter in power. And they’re sabotaging his fundraising efforts. Pull a few dollars out of your wallet or purse, stuff it in an envelope and send it to him. www.gohunter08.com
