I had heard they had a gentleman's agreement long ago to support the other. Oh well.

Regardless, Hunter is in to stay.

[cripplecreek]

I doubt too many Tanc supporters are going to run to the Romney camp anyway.

[ConservativeMind]

What about Romney makes him better than Fred or Duncan?

I appreciate what Tancredo added to the mix, but that is pretty stupid with the front runner in flux.

“Et tu, Tomás?”

Well I’m glad Hunter is in to stay. I find Tancredo’s endorsement shocking.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

"I believe his departure will benefit Duncan Hunter the most," Grant said a couple hours before the Tancredo announcement. "Duncan and Congressman Tancredo had a gentlemen's agreement if one of them backed out they would support the one that is still in the race. When you look at Tancredo's objective as far as immigration, Duncan is right in line with Tom Tancredo's issue."

So the Tank has stabbed Hunter in the back? Is that what I'm reading?

LOL! For Tancredo it has always been about $$$$$, and it seems that Gov. Perfecthair showed enough $$$$$$ to Tancredo.

I’m not saying Romney is a terrible / unacceptable candidate and cannot deny he’s one of the frontrunners, a good campaigner, well-financed (by himself, heh!).

But I’m surprised that TANCREDO endorsed him: Tancredo’s signature issue has been illegal immigration, and Romney has been, at BEST, mediocre on that issue.

Ironically, Giuliani — one of the candidates who’s fare WORSE than Romney on that issue — accurately pointed out in a recent debate that Romney basically did nothing about it until the very end of his term, when with great fanfare he finalized a “local police shall report arrestees who are illegals to ICE” policy. ... Which incoming Gov Deval Patrick promptly rescinded.

Hunter or Thompson were the more intuitive picks for an exiting Tancredo. Odd.

Hey, do you know Duncan Hunter the younger is on Hugh Hewitt’s show now and Hugh is “campaigning” for him.

[traditional1]

Obviously, some behind the scenes negotiating between Tancredo and Romney, to get a promise of an important appointment in Romney’s administration (IF it happens). There is no other reason to swing to a RINO.

[TheLion]

Bttt!

[colorado tanker]

Somehow when I think of the word “politician” the word “gentleman” doesn’t come to mind. :-))

[Travis McGee]

You never know what a potential POTUS might offer a guy, in terms of a job in a future aministration.

It'd be nice to see Tom in charge of the DHS.

[AmericanInTokyo]

I think there is probably a little unknown issue called “immigration” that just might be the one that Romney is referring here to, with respect to he and Tanc not being on the same page.

[airborne]

A ‘gentleman’s agreement’ isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.

[JSDude1]

I’ve lost respect for Tancredo; he obviously picks RINOS over true Conservatives like Hunter or F. Thompson!

Romney is a RINO on immigration and MANY other issues..(imo)!

[Checkers]

Tom choice wisely:

[COBOL2Java]

There was a sense Nov. 13 that Tancredo saw his campaign sinking as he acknowledged he likely wouldn't be elected president. He said Grover Cleveland was the last member of the U.S. House to be elected president.

There's a hint as to why Tancredo didn't want to throw his support at fellow House member Duncan Hunter...

[Guenevere]

I've been gone all afternoon....just found out about this.

It makes me sick!!!!!!

[TornadoAlley3]

Talking head on Fox just said Tanc is trying to stop a moving Huck.

[skr]

Good riddance. Apparently the only gentleman in the agreement was Hunter.
