Tancredo Tom

Well, he has one of the key topics for the true conservative base covered. "Fly Over Country" wants border and national security, a conservative fiscal policy and a smaller federal government. The key question is...is he good on TV. Sad but true, this is now a vital criteria for our new leaders. The direct candor may play well on TV. However, the only way I can see his winning the nomination is if McCain self-destructs (highly likely) and Giuliani has a few more ghost in the closet we don't know about (this is possible). Then it would be between he and Romney and that means he would definitely have a chance. His main problem is that he has a one topic platform and isn't known for much other than his boarder stance.

I still like McCain's or Giuliani's chances if they don't destroy each other through the primaries and nomination process.

Tom Tancredo History & Civil Business Politics

He's also known for a strong Constitutional stand. With GWB saying "it's just a piece of paper," he told the world how he really feels about the rights of the people. Tancredo would (hopefully) remain strong on this issue, and the many other serious items people are concerned about. Here is a link to his congressional website with a listing of the issues and his stance on each:

If he can speak well publicly and has a good speechwriter, I think he could do well. I'm not sure he has the financial backing that McCain and Giuliani have, though.

Tom Tancredo Leaves Republican Prez Campaign, Endorses Mitt Romney

Des Moines, IA (LifeNews.com) -- GOP hopeful Tom Tancredo made it official on Thursday by dropping out of the race for the Republican nomination and throwing his support behind Mitt Romney. Tancredo, a pro-life congressman from Colorado, had made illegal immigration his top issue and hoped his pro-life views would help him catch fire. During a press conference, Tancredo said he dropped out so candidates who are not as harsh on illegal immigration wouldn't benefit from his staying in the race -- referring to Mike Huckabee and John McCain. "I fear remaining in this race, one which I cannot win, would contribute to the nomination of one of these candidates," he said. He said he endorsed Romney primarily on the illegal immigration issue and cited actions the former Massachusetts governor had taken that pleased him. Tancredo also mentioned Huckabee's recent surge in the polls as a contributing factor to his decision to leave the GOP presidential race.
