Michelle Malkin states that “heads explode” over the endorsement of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee by Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA). I’d venture to say that it’s just one more disappointment for the fans of Mitt.

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) led the pack in today’s South Carolina GOP primary. Six months ago McCain’s campaign was considered dead. He now leads in every national poll in the RealClearPolitics average.
Former Sen. Fred Thompson finished a distant third, giving him his best finish yet. The future of the campaign is uncertain, but the conventional wisdom was that Thompson needed to finish at least with a strong third place finish in order to remain viable.

Duncan Hunter to Drop Out

Filed under Conservatism, National Politics, Republican Campaigns
Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) will drop out of the race for the GOP Presidential nomination. A strong conservative, Hunter simply could not rise above poor name ID and money woes.
Hunter was expecting to do better in today’s Nevada caucuses, but failed to garner adequate support.
