#2 Come on over to Fred. He's the only one left (other than Hunter) with consistently strong border policies.

#3 Who needs him? Most of the Republican candidates have come out for increased border security, and done it without embracing conspiracy theories or just generally sounding like Johnny One-Note playing the kazoo. If that's an important issue for you, there are two or three or four other guys in the race (depending how you view things) who are probably acceptable on imigration and have devoted time and thought and attention to other issues (like the war and taxes) and have more than a snowball's chance in hell of actually getting elected.

#4 UPDATE: Tancredo bails, endorses Romney on his way out.

#5 You people are so clueless. The media was not Tom's friend from day one. Those two or three or four other candidates with "acceptable" immigration policies only adopted those policies 2 months ago trying to out Tancredo the Tanc as caucus and primary time neared. I look for every one of them to shove it to the back burner with him out of the race.

#6 Tancredo's support will go mostly to Hunter. And that is no conspiracy like the one that is ramming liberal candidates down our throats that represent the elite and not the middle class American.

#7 Whyats puzzling is that Tanc endorsed Romney. Romney was amnesty and open border in 2005-6 and open cities as a Gov.

#9 Tanc's endorsing Romney is puzzling a lot of us, oldspook. I have supported the Tancredo campaign because he most closely agreed with me on issues; not because I needed him to tell me what I thought. Romney is way down on my list. Apparently Tanc believes Romney's conversion on immigration. I do not. My number one issue is national sovereignty, Romney is a free trading Bilderberg man who believes the President should have Trade Promotion Authority. That is what got us NAFTA & CAFTA and instead of creating markets for our goods, allowed our manufacturing to move out of the country. I pray that beast never rears it's ugly head again. Huckabee is also a free trader, McCain and Giuliani support open borders, Thompson is reading a script written by the Council on Foreign Relations, Ron Paul thinks we can just talk radical islam into being our friend. That only leaves Duncan Hunter.
