“Upset! Dark Horse Candidate Duncan Hunter Places 3rd in Wyoming Caucus”
SK Johnson
1-5-07
Upset with the lack of national GOP attention paid to Wyoming’s Saturday, January 5th caucus the Wyoming GOP supported the three candidates that paid the most attention to the state, campaigning the hardest: Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson, and Duncan Hunter.
Mitt Romney, a Mormon, had the obvious advantage going into the state of Wyoming where there is a large Mormon population; not to mention that he is a very well funded candidate. He picked up 7 delegates for the national convention.
Fred Thompson, the Senator from Tennessee, placed 2nd in the caucus, gaining 2 delegates.
The big news, however, is that the labeled ‘dark horse’ candidate Duncan Hunter placed third in the caucus, achieving 1 delegate and 1 alternate delegate for the upcoming national convention. According to many state polls, Duncan Hunter is creeping up on top tier candidate, Fred Thompson. This places Duncan Hunter in third place nationally with the number of delegates for the national convention.
Could this be the start of a Duncaboom?
Duncan Hunter please do not quit!
My point I have been saying over and over has truely come to light. The media covers what they want and they keep the rest under “raps”. There is no excuse for the cover up…except that Duncan Hunter is the best man for the job! Is our country really going to let the media pick our next President…we all know that the democrates are in control of our television…just look at the smutt that they put on for us to watch. We are asked to vote and then we only get to hear about the “Bull–it” the democrates wants us to hear.
This is the most critical election in my history, next to Regan. Our world will change beyond anyones worst night maire if we do not elect a person that understands the threats we have. Our security in our own nation and the jobs that we need to secure our future.
Freedom to report the news…is what the media says when they bring cahos…What are they doing now…Keeping the public away from a chance to have an awesome America…by not giving Hunter the air time on the debate…This is taking away from our freedom of a fair election!
There is no excuse for this injustice!

Excellent! I hope Duncan Hunter can pick up some momentum as a result of his finish in the Wyoming caucus.

Ok people, lets get the bal rolling even more so now! Let’s make the media look foolish by ignoring the True Candidate. Give him the votes to win, and then the media will have to put him on. It won’t be pretty, but we can do it. No whining, just get it done!!!! We need to get him some money, anybody have any ideas. If so, please email me.

I think it would be a good idea to call talk shows and let listeners know that Hunter came in 3rd in Wyoming and has a delegate.
MSM is being silent on this.
If folks know that Hunter did so well, they will have the confidence to vote for him in future primaries.

Yes, good idea. Thanks Bev. I just heard one prominent talk radio host on thursday talking about Hunter and why he’s not getting enough coverage because the media is afraid of him because he is conservative. He also says that he’s going to contribute one more time and then if nothing happens will vote for Romney. go figure.

I pray people of conviction will continue to vote for the right man–look at Rep. Hunter’s track record on his website!–and ignore the “select a presidential candidate by following the lead of the earliest polls which are based on name recognition of the famous (or the rich who can pay to get famous quickly)”-syndrome.
It really is pitiful that the networks don’t even try to pretend to fair in their reporting any more….
