Tom Tancredo Will Run For Governor of Colorado As Third Party Candidate

Denver Post reporting: Former Congressman Tom Tancredo is in the race for Colorado governor, he said this morning.

“I will officially announce at noon that I will seek the nomination of the constitution party,” Tancredo told The Denver Post.

The Littleton Republican must file some papers with the Colorado Secretary of State and register as a member of the American Constitution Party, but then “he’s ready to go,” raising money, disclosing his platform and launching a website that is already put together.

The GOP, handing yet another winnable seat to the communists. Thanks, Tancredo. You are a true patriot...NOT!

[God luvs America]

i love Tancredo but don’t think this is the smartest move...

[Regulator]

Don't blame Tancredo for the Stupid Party mistakes.

Both GOP candidates screwed up and are way behind the Dim, Hickenlooper.

Tancredo asked the Republican candidates to step aside and let him in, as his poll numbers exceeded theirs and the Democrat.

Scott McInnis is the problem. He's Johnny McAmnesty's boy in CO.

[Reagan Man]

Hey Tom, the GOP is still struggling in Colorado. This doesn't help. Bad move, Tancredo!

[April Lexington]

That was my point. The GOP is so screwed up that the one guy who can win is forced into a third party situation where he will lose and the Dem will win. Unless Tancredo can pull it out, the seat is lost.

[April Lexington]

Hickenlooper, Schickelgrubber... its all the same...

[speciallybland]

I like Tancredo but why doesn’t he run in the Republican primary with that Scott McInnis plagiarism scandal? It creates the perfect opening. He won’t win as a third party candidate.

[Responsibility2nd]

The communists?

Either you can’t read or you have some splainin to do.

On how you think the Constitution Party are communists.

[pissant]

Go Tanc Go!

[Responsibility2nd]

Well, it looks like Tom has ticked off Tea Partiers

McInness is a weasel.

He can not win against chickenlooper.

There seems to be NO leadership
at the top of the Republican party in Colorado.

[April Lexington]

Either you can’t read

Sorry, pardner... but I think it you.... The Communists are the Democrats. Like that chickehlooper fellow...

[Matchett-PI]

What a dumb ass.

[Responsibility2nd]

It's me - your right. Sorry.

And if I wasn't sure about Tom going 3rd party was a bad idea, then see this link on how he has upset the tea partiers.

 

Not good.

[RandallFlagg]

I wish I could run for Governor here.

FIRST thing I’d do is outlaw sanctuary cities as a violation of federal law.

THEN, eliminate state income tax.

Third, Vermont-styled concealed carry.

[CyberAnt]

I could not agree more.

Sadly, this will only dilute the GOP candidate’s ability to win. Not a good move at all.

But .. Tancredo is a loose canon - and while I agree with some of his evidence regarding illegals, this still does not help the cause at all.

[VRWCmember]

Maybe he and Crist can do a little campaign commercial together with a theme of “3rd Party: Because if the Republicans won’t nominate ME, I’d rather hand the seat to the democRATs”.

That'd make more sense if Rubio or Crist wasn't going to be Florida's next Senator.

Nothing like splitting the GOP vote and handing the state back to the socialist Dems. I once supported Tancredo for President, now I wouldn’t want him in our PTA.
