Dole was hurt more by the fact that he had no real platform, just a bunch of flaccid platitudes. And McClintock was plenty electable. This was proven by polls which asked people whom they would actually prefer as governor.
Just MHO...I like Tancredo but realistically, he doesn't have a chance in a national election.
He has a considerably greater chance than Santorum, whom many people here say is electable. The public is not going to vote for someone perceived as a "religious righter".
Maybe that's why he now takes Viagra... :-D
Both are equally unelectable IMHO. I predict neither will even run.
