Tancredo has already ebbed. I understand your point, but if anyone is to fear by going 3rd party (Independent) it's McCain.
We need troops on the border, but I really think it'll take another terrorist hit traceable to the porous border before anyone in our pitiful congressional houses actually vote what they most assuredly know is right.
IF (it's only a matter of time) we get hit again, it's the "porous border" that will be blamed in ANY case....AND the GOP.
McCain? I think he's more a threat to run as a Democrat.
