Given current economic conditions blathering about somebody else's bankruptcy makes you look mentally unstable (at a minimum) and out of touch with reality.

Attacking someone for raising taxes is a whole 'nuther story.

Is the candidate in charge of his advertising or does he have an idiot on the payroll?

I disagree. A bankruptcy still doesn’t set well with many in the general public, especially somebody running for office, it makes them seem (perhaps accurately, perhaps not) irresponsible.

Tancredo has a history of being inflammatory, but he may be tapping into and connecting with, the public’s intense mood of anger at this point in time.

Unless he goes completely over the top and becomes a loose cannon, I think aggressivly going after his opponents may be a good strategy. Time will tell.
