The actor dude who gets a lotta press for being coy and not saying he is running for anything gets 17%.
But Mr. Tancredo of Colorado, who is routinely bashed here on FR and in the press everywhere for being an eeevil anti-immigrationist, does better than drama queen and darling of the East Coast cocktail circuit John McCain (former fearless front runner, self declared heir to the throne).
What's that tellya, folks?
A fellow Presbyterian who has voted with Ron Paul on most issues other than Iraq (and even Tancredo thinks we should begin withdrawing our troops if the Iraqi Government doesn't step up to the plate and show some definite, positive progress), Tancredo is:
On most every issue, Tancredo is second only to Ron Paul -- and so, he's my second choice.
Duncan Hunter and Tommy Thompson also seem like solid, trustworthy Conservatives; but I don't know how they're going to establish any "staying power" when they're only fund-raising a few hundred thousand each, while Paul and Tancredo are raising a few million each.
Time will tell!
Great post...
What it means is that Tancredo is doing better than what the liberal media, pro-illegal GOPers, some talk-show hosts, etc....than what is believed.
If the GOP does not take the illegal alien/border security issue more seriously (ie...dumping the pro-illegal agenda of Bush/McCain)...they will lose big in Nov 08. It is the issue that will keep conservatives away from the polls on election day if the GOP selects a pro-illegal candidate
Alot of the Hunters fans are wondering why there guy is failing to register with voters and not even measure as a blip on the radar screen. I think it's because most of the targeted voters who agree with Hunter 100% are graviting towards Tancredo instead. Tancredo has been much more high profile in Washington and I heard of him long before I was aware of what Duncan Hunter stood for (though I agree with them equally)
I think Tancredo finshes 3rd or 4th in Iowa but Hunter ends up no higher than 6th.
