Many political pundits in the media will be surprised when they witness Duncan Hunter’s strong finish in the upcoming Iowa straw poll. So-called news analysts often relegate Hunter to “Tier II “ candidate status because they don’t understand conservative voters’ anger regarding 8 years of Clinton -- and 8 years of watered-down conservatism under George W. Bush.
Conservatives do not want 4 years of “conservative-light” under Giuliani or McCain. Romney came across as literally shaky on the abortion issue during last Sunday’s Republican debate. Huckabee, Paul, Brownback and the rest of the field lack the “gravitas” factor – and won’t be able to stand up to the likely Democratic presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton.
I believe the majority of conservatives in Iowa will cast their vote for Duncan Hunter, because the more they hear him speak, the more they will like him. They will realize his integrity and his love for America; they will know they can count on him to stand tough against America’s enemies.
Voters will begin to study his consistently conservative 26-year congressional record and learn about his previous military leadership (during the Vietnam War Duncan Hunter proudly served in the 173rd Airborne Brigade and the 75th Army Rangers).
When Hunter finishes strong in the Iowa straw poll and states’ caucuses and primaries to come, his campaign will gain momentum. If he garners his party’s presidential nomination and selects an excellent vice presidential running mate, he will win the White House. That will be good news, not just for conservatives, but for all Americans.
President Hunter. I like the sound of that.
