"Lets" should be "Let's", but it's a quote from a website that makes the same error, so I left it as is. Similarly, "dependant" is usually "dependent" although some dictionaries show both spellings. Art LaPella 04:33, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
I know that it isn't common to include a section on campaign staff/advisors, but I think that in the light of recent developments (ie: Carl Rove, Harriet Miers, Michael Brown etc.) there is a growing concern over a candidate's ability to choose staffmembers. Some of these advisors are potential cabinet members should the candidate be elected. I am proposing the inclusion of prominent staff/advisors (and a short bio) to all candidates' campaign entries in order to help voters better understand each candidates' ability to judge character. I believe that attention is inordinately focussed on individual candidates, when in fact, the major influence on any new administration will be in the advisors surrounding the new president. Your input would be greatly appreciated. ----Rawkcuf. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rawkcuf ( talk • contribs) 04:54, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
This article uses a lot of loaded language. It really should be checked for NPOV. In particular, the comment that a particular straw poll was "spammed" by Ron Paul supporters is biased and unfair. It is also an incorrect use of the term. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.228.245.174 ( talk) 05:22, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
There is some serious work to be done on this article to make it encyclopedic. There are far too many sections for the amount of information given and the flow of the article is all over the place and many of the sections need to be trimmed, consolidated or eliminated entirely. Remember, there is already a Duncan Hunter article. This article is ostensibly about his presidential campaign. So why are there sections on Columbia University or the California fires? I can see the connection to Duncan Hunter the congressman, but what does that have to do with the presidential campaign? He's not running on the "California fire" platform, after all.
Worse, much of it is written in a blatantly promotional tone. There is actually a section called "Doubts about the campaign dispelled" that quotes a campaign aide? Ridiculous. And why are there so many extended quotes by Hunter himself? This isn't his campaign website. There is far too much self-referentiality in this article. -- Loonymonkey ( talk) 01:08, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
It won't really be that hard to fix this article, it doesn't have as many problems as some other campaign articles. I'd like to focus more attention on making Joe Biden presidential campaign, 2008 more encyclopedic, it really needs some work.-- S TX 04:27, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I think we all agree that the Biden article is the worst of the bunch, but that doesn't change the fact that this is probably the second worst. The difference is, while the Biden article seems hopeless, this one could be fixed. SouthTexas, you are on the right track with the plan to eliminate the subsections and merge the content into paragraphs, but there really needs to be some trimming in the process. For instance, why is there an entire paragraph just to say essentially that "Hunter gave a speech honoring Veterans at the Veteran's Day parade" The notability seems dubious to me as I imagine about 400 of the 435 other representatives gave a similar speech in their home districts, but if it's necessary for a campaign timeline, it should be shortened. Also, the glowing language in a lot of these paragraphs needs to be toned down. We should stick the facts and avoid saying that Hunter is "famously remembered for..." "made a statement that tried to pull the participants together..." "reflected on the importance of Veterans to America and the security of freedom", etc. etc.
It's a lot of work for an article about a candidate that's going to drop out in a month or two, but that's the way it is. Your name is completely apropos, Wasted Time! -- Loonymonkey ( talk) 17:05, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
This section has gotten rather long and slightly disorganized. The other articles in the project tend to break this section chronologically with a seperate subsection for election results. I suggest we have three subsections under Campaign developments: First half of 2007, Second half of 2007, and Primary and caucus results. -- Loonymonkey ( talk) 19:14, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
Prose and images seem okay, though I am not sure about NPOV. There doesn't seem to be much criticism of him and his positions here, and given he had so little support there must be enough of it to feed into the article. Could also do with a few more references but that is not too bad, but some aren't using templates - should be consistent. Aside from that, only other problems I can see is that you have external links in prose and the list of people endorsing him his hidden - articles should work just as well printed and I don't see why you needed that as a drop down. Nothing else major, I'll come back in a few days to see how things are.- J Logan t: 13:49, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
