    Default Breaking News: Tancredo might be out

    http://www.politico.com/blogs/jonath...o_get_out.html

    Apparently he is scheduling a huge press conference tomorrow and the media is speculating that he is ending his bid for President.

    Its a shame, Tancredo was one of the candidates i liked.

    It really is to bad. He is one of the candidates I would have like to see get it but he just wasn't as well known and didn't have the resources to compete with the others.

    The rumors are saying he will back Thompson. I don't know if that is true or even if the rumors are accurate that he is getting out. I dont even know if he will back anyone.

    I'm guessing that he will back Hunter. Their stances are almost identical.

    Idea:

    Ron Paul picks Tancredo as a running mate. That's my dream ticket.

    Actually, I agree with Dillo. Tancredo ran on one issue only, which is why his poll numbers are so low. Now, it just so happens that his position on that issue is the same as most of the rest of the GOP, but still, he only had one issue.

    Tancredo is a fringe candidate whose only real issue is immigration. There is no reason to waste time in the primaries in you are not going to attract more than 3 percent of the vote.

    Yes, he has stances on them, and many other issues, but his name is synonymous with illegal immigration, just like McCain's name is synonymous with campaign finance "reform."

    Tancredo drops out, endorses Romney

    U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo announced today he's ending his long-shot bid for the White House.

    The Colorado Republican made his exit from the race official at a press conference this afternoon in downtown Des Moines. He'll throw his support behind GOP candidate Mitt Romney, he said.
