That's why I don't take Buchanan/Tancredo for granted.
They do not have the vote drawing power like Perot did. But they are a very serious, very real danger to the future of the Republican party if the Old Media can succeed in portraying their racism, bigotry, meanness, and xenophobia as the position of the Republican party.
Republicans are not racist. Republicans are not anti-Hispanics. But it is going to be difficult to convince Hispanic voters of that when Buchanan/Tancredo are being promoted by the Old Media as representative of Republicans.
And that's what's important...right? The future of the PARTY. It doesn't matter that the Nation is being invaded by illegal aliens, as long as the PARTY has a future, who cares if America has none?
