Tancredo is a hero but he does not think he can win.Mike Pence is the conservative for 08!
I think if he runs it won't be with an expectation of winning. I think it will be a means of pushing the immigration issue. It would be an interesting race with his own party trying to smear him right down the line.
Did anyone hear the article read on NPR on Monday morning about 6:30 AM Central that mentioned Tancredo? I've been trying to find out who wrote the article so I can download it.
Has a sitting Representative ever successfully ran for President without any executive experience?
If Congress passes immigration reform, the issue won't be a part of the presidential race, said Tamar Jacoby, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute and a conservative advocate for a guest-worker program. Even if Congress doesn't pass reform, she said, people don't vote for president based on immigration issues.
Ms. Jacoby couldn't be more wrong on both statements.
I love Tancredo and I am grateful that he stood up when you could count the people who would even talk about immigration on one hand. However, he's probably right not to try for the presidency. I've read here and there that he has his eye on the Senate.
Please say it isn't so. We need a man like Tancredo! When are we as Conservatives ever going to get a back bone and run a true Conservative?!!!
He won't. And he wouldn't win the nomination anyway. Then again, Frist, McCain, or Rudy sure don't do it for me.
Hopefully Cheney will change his mind and run.
Or Tommy Franks.
Run Tancredo for Governor of Colorado when Owens the RINO goes bye-bye.
Good. This will give Tancredo more time to think about apologizing to all the immigrants that he scapegoats and ridicules.
