Nobody thinks he would get the nomination. Tancredo himself says as much. He would only run to try and make immigration/border control an issue. And that would be a good thing. We've seen with Bush how truly awful a 'conservative' can be on the issue, and with potential front-runner McCain trying to pass an amnesty through Congress, it would be nice if there were at least an attempt to get some conservative values injected into the borders/immigration debate.
And this was all a "what if"
Tancredo did not say we should use nukes first; rather that they should be an option if they use them on us.
and thankfully he will NEVER have his finger the button. Are you really as naive to think he would wait? I am not.
Glad he has nuked his own Presidential ambitions. He wouldnt even make it to Iowa as it is and a 3rd party candidacy will not go anywhere either, just as Perouted or Badnarik.....

Excellent post. Someone here "gets it".
