Yes, I understand that Tom Tancredo as a full political platform, he's a well-rounded family man and loves puppies. Unfortunately, you should know full well what will happen to Tancredo if he tries to break out of the single-digit pack and starts to threaten the MSM's "selected" Republicans Rudy McRomney. The smear campaign will begin in earnest.

The talking heads at ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN will express "concern" over Tancredo's "nativist" views. The NYT will run regular editorials saying Tancredo is an "extremist, Christian fundamentalist." Leftist activist will denounce Tancredo's "return to isolationism." And for the main course, one of the Left's select political hitmen will declare Tancredo a "racist" because it doesn't really matter whether he is or not, the charge of racism is all about being accused, not about whether it's true.

I'm not one of the people who says Tancredo has no chance, but whatever chance he may have is dependent upon his readiness and ability to fight the political battles that occur at the level of a Presidential election.

So? It's not like the drive-by media are going to give any Pubbie a chance, is it? I'm pretty sure Tancredo knows what's in store for him should he get the nomination. From what I've seen, he has a helluva lot less real baggage in his past than Rudy McRomney, and solid conservative credentials to boot.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

If he quits at the first sign of a battle or is not willing to fight the tough fights I wouldn't want him in office anyway.

You know - just like the "highly electable" Republican we have in the White House right now.
