I hear the sound of a thousand manure spreaders starting up with which to fling the bullcrap at Tancredo.

And I'm not supporting his bid - I prefer Hunter. But I calls 'em as I sees 'em.

This obama nonsense is ridiculous. They finally have an articulate, non ebonics speaking black guy on their side and the media starts swooning. Compare the coverage of this leftist to that of any number of accomplished, black republicans and you'll see the disgusting double standard.

You kinda brought up an image that brings a real smile to my face!!!

A remake of the famous "National Lampoon's" commisary food fight with Balushi jumping up and yelling the same...

I picture Tancredo playing the part of Balushi in this one!!!

We need more food fights in politics...Literally...

I love Tom, but this is really stupid. He has no chance. All he's going to do is split the conservative vote.

Where is the Tancredo web page? Where is the Press Release. If his 'announcement' is any indication he has little idea about how to play the game. There is such a thing as PR, and you're gonna need to be real good at it to run a longshot Presidential campaign.

So, confirmed participants in GOP debates will be, as of today:

Romney
Giuliani
McCain
Brownback
Hunter
Paul
Tancredo

I don't think Huckabee has formed his committee. Have I missed anyone?

I have no idea. I do know the MSM will give it scant attention regardless.

He has the same chance as Hunter, zero.

There is nothing wrong with splitting the conservative vote. That's what the primaries are designed to do.

Tancredo will play an important role in shaping the debate. All he needs to do is openly challenge the other Republican wusses on immigration.

We need lotsa conservatives in the primary mix. It'll keep the RINOs in line.

Tancredo and Hunter may succeed in pushing the whole field to the right. As long as we all don't self-destruct when our favorite doesn't get the nomination, there may be some good value in having a number of conservative ideas put forth in the primary.

I didn't say or imply he had a chance.

I was just asking who might get an invite to debates. As I recall, a few years back, even joke candidates like Keyes and Maury Taylor were invited.

With virtually no support they won't push anyone any where, they will be the conservative version of Dennis Kucinich.
