In case you missed it the 2008 Presidential Election Season actually kicked off a week and a day before the latest election when Representative Duncan Hunter (R- Calif) announced he was forming an exploratory committee to seek the presidency. Hunter is a sixty year old Vietnam veteran and current Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee.

In light of the exit polling from Tuesday’s election showing corruption was number one on the minds of voters Mr. Hunter’s candidacy could be complicated. He has been implicated in the Randy Cunningham Scandal, questioned about tax breaks for his home and was found to have a mountain of credit card debt. Interesting fact, though it was not his fault he lost that aforementioned home to California Wild Fires.

Still for the traditional Republicans he is a strong supporter of policing the border, funding our nations defense, his son served in Iraq and he has a strong anti-abortion record.
