Duncan Hunter


Who? Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA)


Musician supporters: Elvis Presley, who showed up at the Ames straw poll to show his support



What I assume is on his personal music player: Duncan represents Southern California, so I can only assume he listens to Black Flag, the Adolescents, the Germs, TSOL....


On the Record: Well, the Elvis appearance at the Straw Poll was probably the highlight of Hunter's campaign. Elvis hadn't been seen with a politican in thirty years, so I'm not sure why he came out to support the California congressman.


I found this website and don't understand it. It appears to be a website put up by a Duncan hunter supporter along with a collection of protest songs. I can understand the more patriotic songs, but many of the songs on the website seem to be the opposite of what you'd expect a Hunter supporter to like.


There is this Hunter YouTube video which is so annoyingly upbeat it makes Lawrence Welk look like the Velvet Underground.


Will Duncan answer my question "What music are you currently listening to?": Nothing yet from the Hunter campaign. You know Hunter needs all the help he can get, and a "Vote Yer Music" endorsement would be a good move. Sadly, we have to give Hunter thumbs down.
