Tancredo to make "major announcement" Thursday on GOP bid (dropping out?)

And Tancredo’s 1% added to Hunter’s 1% accomplishes what?

[1Old Pro]

I’ll bet he announces his dog went missing, coincidentally when the Huckabee family was in town.

[BibChr]

Well, he should drop out. If only he could take Paul, McMeMeMe, and Giuliani with him.

[pissant]

ROFLMAO!!!!

[captnorb]

Maybe we should have 4-5 co presidents....Duncan for immigration, Fred for everything else and duncan for VP too.

[Kimberly GG]

IMO, Tancredo endorsing anyone other than Hunter, is like Gilchrist endorsing Huckabee. Would make absolutely no sense.

[Antoninus]

And Tancredo’s 1% added to Hunter’s 1% accomplishes what?

What, in the polls? We'll see what happens when the media has to shut up for a minute and let the actual voters have their say.

[TalonDJ]

To endorse someone who hasn't shown any better polling than he has would be a waste. I just don't see Tancredo throwing all he's fought for into the wind.

And I see now as the perfect time for it to make an impact. Tancrado has been hitting the radio ads hard here in Iowa. Whoever he endorses is likely to get a bounce from that issue. Now is just close enough but not to far from the primary here for that to make an impact. My money says he endorses Fred.

[bcsco]

In that senario it would have to be Huckabee, Romney or Thompson and Thompson has a very slim chance of being the outright winner.

Iowa isn't so much about winning as being in the top 3. At least for Fred. And with a Tancredo endorsement, that could help him accomplish that. Look at Iowa's track record. It isn't all that great as far as picking Presidents.

Sorry, this thread Caption this picture of the Huckabees has brought it out in me.

[ejonesie22]

Heh heh Yes indeed...

Now the Dog is just hangin’ around..

[deport]

What other candidate is scheduled to be in Des Moines on Thursday?....... Any ideas?

[bcsco]

But then again, he may suprise us and stay in the race.

"Who knows what evil lurks in the minds of men? The Shadow knows!"

Like I said, time will tell :>)

[normy]

Actually Tanc polls around 3% with between 9 and 12% undecided. Its called momentum and Huck and Mitt are losing theirs.

Mitt has been in Iowa forever and Huck had his day. If Fred gets his 3% he bumps up to around 14% or 15%. At this point why are there still so many undecided when they all know Mitt, Huck, Rudy and John so well already?

[kabar]

I think you are right. Tancredo will endorse Thompson because Thompson has it right on immigration. Mission accomplished. Steve King’s endorsement of Thompson is the indicator since Tancredo and King are good friends.

[Petronski]

...another Neo-Con that could not withstand the Ron Paul Revolution...

Absolutely insane.

[bcsco]

Sounds good to me. But it’s wishful thinking on the part of many of us here on FR whether combined as you did or in the reverse.

That’s an even bigger “IF” than what Tancredo will do tomorrow, IMHO.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

Are you telling me that you WEREN’T swayed by Willard’s dazzling display of leadership at the last debate?

[normy]

Rudy needs to stay in the race until McCain drops out. If he goes, 10 to 2 he endorses McCain and oh what a bounce that will be.

Fred needs to make a move because after Florida, my guess is Rudy closes up shop and backs McCain.

[donnab]

HUH?
Yeah Dr. Paul has them all on the run.
