Duncan Hunter, a very small name in this 2008 presidential election. He is all over the place. He is very unorganized and he is giving up a very important seat in the House to try to gain presidency, which is looking unlikely right now. Over the first six months of 2007, he has only raised 1.2 million dollars. Other candidates dwarf this number in their donations. He has no organization in Iowa, where organization is essential to success. His election team is made up of eight volunteers and they are doing very bad. he basically has no media coverage at all, except for one reporter following him around...and Hunter's team forgot to tell the reporter that plans have changed so on the second day of campaigning, Hunter and the reporter were in cities 45 miles apart. He is giving up his seat because he believes that his time has come to run for presidency.
Hunter's family has been very honorable throughout the past. His father served in World War II and he served in Vietnam himself. This is why he is running for presidency because he feels so strongly about the Iraq War.
In my opinion, Hunter should have kept his seat in the House and let the not necessarily more expeirienced people run it, but the people with better finances.

I think Duncan is running under a really passionate platform -- to stop the war in Iraq. He will probably get many votes because of this but it must be taken into account that so many candidates are also running under this platform. If Duncan truly wants to be the leader of the US, he needs to be organized, consistent, and well-known. He needs to take his campaign seriously and try his hardest to get his opinions across the nation.
