The problem with Hunter and Tancredo (not too mention one of Paul’s many problems) is that they’re only Congressmen. If they really want to be President, then they need to get some time as Governors first. I suspect that one problem that both parties are having with the various candidates is that so few of them have executive experience. There’s just way too many Senators and Congressmen running this time around. Not only are they weak on actual executive experience, the experience they do have is heavily waited to what they done inside the Beltway. And that is another huge negative with the general voting population.

That's ONE problem. I have been a Tancredo supporter. I'd still be one based on his positions, with which I am in virtual 100% agreement. But he ain't gonna be the nominee so I have to look elsewhere.

I've been disappointed in him for another reason though. LISTENING TO HIM TRY TO EXPRESS HIMSELF IS PAINFUL!

We have a Maltese with a heart murmer. She gets along fine, but when she gets overly excited about something, she goes into a coughing jag until she settles down. Every time I watch Tancredo try to put a couple of sentences together, he reminds me of her! Stuttering, tripping over his words.....what the heck is wrong with the guy? He's been a congresscritter for 10 years and he freezes like this when asked a simple question?

I love ya' TT.....but geeze, please have somebody work with you on your stage presence!

this is why people are looking at Rudy, Romney and Huckabee. And since Rudy is not an option for conservatives because of abortion and Romney’s pro-life record isn’t so impressive, we may see a lot more Huckabee because he is clearly pro-life.

Look at the Governors who are running...”executive” experience didn’t help them one bit to stay in touch with the “common man”. Both GOP and DUmocrat candidates who were governors are promoters of the big goverment nanny-state, open-border & pro-amnesty types.
