Why isn't Duncan Hunter getting the same free news coverage and publicity as Obama and Clinton?

Question

Many times when I look at the alleged presidential polls, I don't even see Duncan's name listed when doing comparisons. Every time I look up information about him, there are the other two faces staring back at me again.

Answer 1

I agree 100%

Duncan Hunter is the most exciting candidate of the 2008 crop. But the lamestream media isn't too keen on Hunter. He represents the most Reagan-esque figure today.

Answer 2

Good question. I think the media AND the RNC make some decisions early on, and that good second tier candidates are eliminated for reasons which have nothing to do with whether they'd do a good job. I like Huckabee, and he also seems to have been passed over quickly by the media and the Republican Party. Both Hunter and Huckabee probably aren't willing to compromise their personal views or their ethics enough. Then, when it's down to two guys, we'll all wonder why couldn't we have better candidates. Yet no one will criticise or seriously try to change this stupid pre election process.

Answer 3

The same liberals who scream it's unfair that conservatives receive too much air time, ironic isn't it? The liberal media adore other liberals. It's time the conservative media elements give conservative candidates more emphasis, rather than two-faced candidates like these two, or Giuliani or worst of all, the hypocritical Huckabee, the pardon king as Arkansas governor who claims to be anti-amnesty but fought for every advantage for illegal aliens while governor.

Answer 4

I think Duncan Hunter is a good man but he just doesn't have the name recognition.He has no chance now but he may later.The press covers who they like mostly.They would give Hilary more coverage than Condi and they would give more coverage to Obama as say J.C Watts for example.

Answer 5

Because he isn't as pretty as a black, or a woman, as a president. The media is trying to manipulate the American people, to become a socialist nation, which both Hellary, and Osama stand for. Duncan Hunter isn't a socialist, and trying to do the right thing as he knows for his country, and not trying to change it to a different system. Watch out for the damn MEDIA. They think they're in charge of US, and we have no brains!

Answer 6

Obama is all hype, the main overvalued person on the earth.. Empty healthful, clueless, works for Nancy Pelosi. howdy liberals devour their youthful unfavourable little barry. Liberals hate 2 issues being shown stupid and shrivel on the boots of something religious.

Answer 7

-All of the above + we need to clean out Congress and start over and at the same time we need to spank ABC, CBS, NBC, PMSNBC, CNN, PBS.
While we're at it, We should shut down our Public Schools (Which we own) and fire all of our employees (The Faculty and Administrators). This, I think, would be a good start toward reconstruction.
:D

Answer 8

He is not a liberal and everything I have read about him has been pretty consistent. I believe he would make a strong leader. But, that powers that may be thinks otherwise. I guess we are not a democratic nation as we thought we were.

Answer 9

At this point in the game, if the contenders aren't in the ring, you might as well not even worry about them. The nominee for the democrats is going to come down between Clinton and Obama. The nominee for the republicans will come down between Giuliani, McCain, or Thompson.

Answer 10

He's a conservative in a liberal media world.
My advice..you need to spend more time listening to talk radio and watching Fox News channel and the world will smell a whole lot better!
