Hunter on Red State Radio
Check out the interview here.
Rep. Hunter's concept of "the arsenal of Democracy" sets him apart from the field, and will resonate in the American heartland. He is the only one talking about the destruction of our manufacturing base as a national security issue, and not merely one of economics.
Hunter's consistency in opposing illegal immigration and in supporting life issues also show him to be a genuine conservative. The big 3 must be scared to death of this guy gaining traction, and will continue to ignore him in the hope that people don't notice he's there. It will interesting to watch that dynamic play out when the candidates are face-to-face in the debates.

I haven't really followed Hunter much, do you think he'd be willing to run as VP? (I can't see why not, he's not such a big name that he should already be thinking it's president or nothing.)
If so, can you imagine a Romney/Hunter ticket?? That would energize the entire base, guarantee big turnout.
Hunter would be a bold and unconventional VP pick. Unless Hunter really catches fire on the trail, however, the press would label him "undeserving" of the veep slot. If Mitt gets the nomination, I would be surprised to see him do anything unconventional with his VP pick.
More likely: a pick like Gov. John E. Bush, Sen. Frist, Sec. Rice, Sen. Brownback, Gov. Sanford, Gov. Pawlenty (now supporting McCain), or Sen. Cornyn.
Not that Rep. Hunter wouldn't be an inspired choice...
Did I mention Sen. Cornyn?
