Same here, but he'd win without our votes.

That's why McCain must not win the primary. But Tancredo will siphon off a few percentage points from the conservatives, and it could become a real problem.

Oh, I completely agree. I love Tancredo, but I don't want him in this race. It will cause too many people to vote McCain.

I think at this point our best hope is Allen in 08, and let tancredo keep pushing reform in Congress. He seems to be rallying alot of support lately.

There is a bill I believe in Congress right now, called the CLEAR Act, which has something like 100 co-sponsors alrwady. I believe Tancredo is very involved with it, and it is a tough bill.

And so now it all comes full circle. We get told we're not supposed to vote third-party, because the Democrats will win; that if you want to move things further to the right, do it in the GOP primaries. Now we're not supposed to vote "too conservative" in the GOP primaries, because otherwise McCain will be the nominee. So the upshot is, unless we're willing to color outside the lines that have been presented to us by the party hacks, we'll still have to dance to their tune. Sorry, but this cycle needs to be broken somewhere.
