Hunter to Announce White House Bid

Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) "is poised to announce today that he is considering a long-shot run for the White House," the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

"Hunter's ambitions come as a surprise to other Republicans, none of whom had an inkling that he might look to jump into what is likely to be a crowded field for the GOP presidential nomination. But even more shocking is that he would do this a week before the midterm election that may shift control of the House to the Democrats and cost Hunter his chairmanship of the House Armed Services Committee."

Said Political Wire guest contributor Stuart Rothenberg: "To say it's curious timing is quite an understatement. It is bizarre. It does suggest he figures he's going to have some time on his hands, that he won't have to worry about running hearings and fashioning legislation. He must figure one of his Democratic colleagues will be taking care of that."
