My First Choice For President ?

It has always been Duncan Hunter as I blogged about early on in the season here, here, here and first here, but realizing his national appeal leaves a lot to be desired, sadly I am prepared to see another in the place of Republican nominee's come next year. I say sadly as his credentials fulfill the wants and needs of conservatives and he is what many others only claim to be, and that is a true Reagan friend and conservative, one who also hails from California and champions all the issues conservatives claim to be priorities.

But the race for president has morphed into a popularity contest dependent on money and more money, something he hasn't been able to muster enough of to become a more familiar face to those out there who do not know who he is and what he is about.

A man I agree with often times is also endorsing him for president today, although only after his first pick has dropped out of the race, and that was Tom Tancredo, another true conservative on the issues without the national recognition to keep moving forward.

This man is WorldNetDaily founder and columnist Joseph Farah, who's endorsement appeared today on the website and probably comes a little late, but late is better than never.

Duncan Hunter for president!:

WorldNetDaily: "Regular readers of my column know that I have enthusiastically supported Tom Tancredo for president.

In fact, two years ago, I personally asked Tancredo to run for president because I feared there would be no Republican candidate offering real solutions to America's crisis with illegal immigration and border security.

Tancredo answered the call. I always knew he was, at best, a reluctant and long-shot candidate. But he answered the bell.

Last week, Tancredo withdrew from the race and endorsed Mitt Romney for the presidency."
"This was a huge mistake by Tancredo. I'm sure he had his reasons. He said he wanted to find a top-tier candidate who was strongest on his pet issue. But, this is the primary season. In the primary season, Americans should pay little attention to the polls and select the very best candidate possible. Actual votes decide who is selected as the party nominees – not polls.

That's why I supported Tancredo in the first place. I didn't pay attention to the polls. I selected the man I thought would be the best candidate. I liked Tancredo so much, I published his terrific book, 'In Mortal Danger,' still one of the very best indictments of America's disastrous border and immigration policies.

I will certainly not follow Tancredo's lead in supporting Romney. Romney is a pretender to the throne. He launched his campaign for the Republican nomination by running contrary to virtually every major position and action he has previously taken in public life." continued
