It is strange; indeed, it was reported that Hunter believed he had a gentleman’s agreement with Tancredo for each to endorse the last-of-the-two-standing so to speak. If true, I am even more dissappointed with the tanc.
Fred has (pre-election season, even) been very strong on the border — his articles in the National Review and talks on Paul Harvey’s show I think really scuttled the amnesty bill -— so he would have been a logical choice if not Hunter.
Tancredo’s campaign manager bolting to Fred is telling that Tanc’s decision was unpopular among his supporters.

It was unpopular among an awful LOT of Republicans that weren’t really supporting him. Romney is a loser-in-waiting.
If that's true, this was awfully sh!tty on Tancredo's part. That endorsement might have given Hunter enough of a bump to put him on the map.
