Bye-Bye Tom Tancredo

I can't say I'm going to miss his racist remarks about immigrants and his fear-mongering. From the Des Moines Register:

"Republican presidential candidate Tom Tancredo has scheduled a 2 p.m. press conference on Thursday to make a "major announcement."
Tancredo, a Colorado congressman, has no other campaign events scheduled in Iowa after tomorrow's announcement, said Alan Moore, Tancredo's press secretary."

My bet is that he drops out. Good riddance.

he probably was banking on Steve King (0.00 / 0)

his buddy, and now doesn't want to risk humiliation on January 3.

Invite other Iowa political junkies to join us at Bleeding Heartland.

I am surprised (0.00 / 0)

I thought he would be in the race until the end to keep immigration in the debate. But maybe he is happy with the emphasis on immigration so far.

Tancredo satisfied? (0.00 / 0)

He won't be satisfied with the emphasis on immigration until people are driving out every Latino-looking person in this country with torches and pitchforks.

I'm going to say he either completely ran out of money or got a deal he couldn't refuse from one of the other candidates.
