Snowball's chance. However, he will introduce some more badly needed sanity into the immigration debate, along with Duncan Hunter, and continue to keep the pot boiling and putting pressure on the others.

Tom Tancredo running is a good thing. While he a pony that does only one trick (immigration), it's a damn good trick and if he can push the entire Republican field in the correct direction, then he's done good, not to mention he might turn out to be a good VP candidate.

Tancredo's office on Friday morning said that he will make a "major announcement" Monday on a Des Moines, Iowa, radio station.

Undoubtedly on Jan Michelson's show on WHO.

I still think it's going to come down to Thompson and Gingrich. These two can rip the Democrats apart. Especially when you look at who they are running and the division in their ranks. All the Republicans have to do is get tough and show our people that they can bring this country back to what it once was. These two can also get tough with the UN if they want to. All they have to do is tell the UN to straighten up or we are out of there. I'd bet that England would follow suit and establish another organization to take the UN's place.

Tancredo, Hunter, and Thompson are the conservative rebellion. They will speak plainly, and they will push this election to where it needs to go.

My preference is Hunter, and I like Thompson. I like Tancredo, too, but I haven't heard him articulate a position on the offensive war, and for me the war is bottom line. I agree with others, that you can't separate border security from the war itself, but so far Tancredo hasn't shown much interest in war issues. That will probably change now, as he enters the race.

I am expecting him to be more isolationist than the others, more inclined perhaps to bring the boys home and focus on simply keeping the baddies out. I don't think that will be effective, I don't think we have that choice, personally, but I'll wait to hear Tancredo explain his own position.

Dream ticket/sequence of events:

Thompson/Hunter with Algore running as a Green.

President Thompson could then name Bolton as Sec/Def and Tancredo as Homeland Security chief.

Throw in Gingrich as Sec/State and Giuliani as Attorney General and I believe that would cover it.

He does have a snowballs chance, but at least he is willing to take an important message to the front. He has my vote, time to send a strong message to the open border group and tell them to go to hell.

Why don't you Tancredo bashers leave him alone. He has a right to run in the GOP primaries just as much as liberal RINO Rudy does.

Tancredo has my vote.

I don't want to hear the McClintock argument either.

Well, I suppose it's a given that we'll get Rudy as the nominee with the conservative vote being split between Hunter, Tancredo, Thompson, Gingrich, and others.

Good to see Tancredo go for the Republican nomination instead of some third party nomination.

Well, at the very least maybe he and Hunter can help keep the others honest.
