As a wise person once said, "True believers don't realize how scary a guy like Tancredo seems to the average voter. Even conservatives."

This show down has been coming for a long time now. Tancredo, the buchanan's and the "borders are the only thing" crowd decided to make the Utah race a national referendum on the issue. They can editorialize this huge loss all they want, on this evening in Utah the issue was put into it's proper perspective.

Next will come what becomes of Tancredo. I'd say there is a good chance of him following in the buchanan foot steps after this.
