for family members to fly to see the steelers, including a $600 airplane ticket for his pet rabbit. i could go on. this is something that had been in the works for a while. people have been talking quite a bit about the cloud hanging over duncan hunter to the point that darrell issa was even contemplating he of course a republican stepping down from his california seat because he was worried he couldn t win there, he was thinking about running in hunter s district because of hunter s problems. hunter will face a democrat in the fall. now, he is not necessarily the top democratic recruit, that s not necessarily what the party wanted, but at the same time he s caught a lot of attention with the progressive base and he has been fundraising, he was endorsed by former president barack obama. so he could be potentially one of those candidates, those new, non-politician candidates that we see coming out of this midterm election cycle, because as of now, duncan hunter as you point out is usi
