Looks like real conservatives can go back to threatening to vote for Hillary.

I think their are two main reasons.
1) He will be smeared by the main stream media to a level that has never been seen before. No matter how strong a person you are that is hard to stand up to or put your family and friends through.
2) Money. Big business wants amnesty and they will keep him from raising the money necessary to run.

It's 2 years away!!!! Also if he is 100% serious about immigration, he may not want to be accused of using it for political gain, ie. ......his run for the WH.

No one has a moral obligation to run for president.

There will be at least one conservative who will run. Whether its Allen, Pence or Jeb remains to be seen.

Real conservatives can withhold their vote from both parties.
Staying at home or a vote for a 3rd party in Nov would send a strong message to both parties, we are sick of politicians putting the interest groups ahead of the people they are PAID to represent.
In the long run both parties have the same masters.

Because he never had a chance and he knew it.
Pretending to run for President is a lucrative enterprise. Just ask Tancredo's mentor, Pat Buchanan.

hmmm... curious why certain tancredo threads get pulled and others don't.
he's a legal citizen , he has rights, he has stated he is of mixed emotion re: running,, and has said if no one else will raise the immigration issue in 08 , he will..
he knows he won't win, stassen knew it too.
you'll have to ask his district voters why they keep returning him to office.
other than that,, have fun.

(Vanity) Why is Tancredo abondoning a run for 08?
Just a guess but maybe this WH has access to FBI files just like the previous WH.......................

What potential candidate or candidates for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination could you support in a GOP presidential primary or caucus?
What current United States senator or United States representative holds views on immigration and illegal aliens that most closely resemble yours?
President Bush opposes construction of the fence authorized by H.R. 4437. Do you oppose contruction of that fence?
Do you believe any illegal aliens presently living in the United States should be given legal status? If so, which ones?

He has no chance so why waste the time and money.
He is good at what he does. Let him keep at it.

What's funny is Tancredo never fully ruled out a presidential run (I suspect he is looking to see if Allard retires and if he can go after that open Colorado senate seat) and that Tancredo himself has said he cannot win.
It would be like Jim Gilchrist, whose strong showing in the polls forced republican John Campbell to disown a vote for in-state college costs and Robert Vasquez, who regardless of if he wins or not has forced four out of five of the other republicans running for an open Idaho house seat to take strong anti-illegal and pro-border enforcement stances. Tancredo would move others like Allen to the right on immigration.
"American voter’s deep and heartfelt passion to deport 12 million people to a country mired in corruption and poverty...."
When did Tancredo say that exactly? Tancredo's stance is go after employers, dry up the jobs for illegals and they'll "deport themselves." The feeling sorry for illegals attitude you display is phoney and bogus at best anyways.

Because he is a one trick pony who appeals to fetishist on that one issue, but is caught flat footed on almost everything else. No national credibility.
He is fine where he is - hammering his one issue and trying to influence policy.

He might see that there is more that CAN be done in Congress instead of making an attempt at the Presidency and possibly losing.
He has a fairly secure grasp on his seat in Congress. He can do more there than in the Presidency IMHO.
