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.

In the Great Recession there are some who view bankruptcy as a moral failing of some kind.

Some, not all, not enough to sway an election one way or the other.

I think it would be much more harmful to be identified as someone who foreclosed on home mortgages.
