Tancredo will get the support of the one-issue voter, the type that is overrepresented here at FR.

I doubt his candidacy will do any better than that of Alan Keyes, who is a tremendous debater, but was unable to reach out beyond his loyal and fervent base.

I think more people than you think vote on one issue, even if it's not immigration, it's usually something.

Tancredo is hardly one issue too. Pro-border security, pro-life, pro-gun rights and probably in the top ten of fiscal conservatives in congress. He has more than any empty suit like Giuliani has.

I am far from a one issue voter but I can't find another republican who supports more than one of my core values. Surely not Guilanni or McCain. Newt loses on many fronts including NAFTA. Even Romney is scarey and unacceptable. Tancredo is at least smart enough to understand there are about five "core issues" he needs to get on the right side of..None of the others dare go there. One issue voters?...nuts.

One issue is better than *No Issue*. IMO, In order to get people motivated, you must find the issue they are most passionate about and play on that. If illegal immigration gets voters to the polls, fine. Personally, I don't see anyone on this forum as *one Issue* voters. That is just a slam from the OBL and the Freetraders to direct attention away from one of our biggest problems.
