I don't think that's the case. I'm pretty sure Tancredo could not win the nomination. IN addition, if we pick a candidate who has no executive or leadership experience, and the democrats get smart and pick someone like Al Gore who has years of executive experience, we'll be hard-pressed to win that battle with the middle of the electorate, even if we've picked a strong conservative.
I was going to say that, if it wasn't for Global Warming, Al Gore might be more conservative than Gulliani -- except I'm not sure what Gulliani's position is on Global Warming :-)
It's farther left than Gore's
