Tancredo Officially Declares Candidacy

Written by Sam on April 2nd, 2007

Colorado Republican Congressman Tom Tancredo declared his candidacy for the 2008 presidential election this morning on a radio talk show in Des Moines, Iowa.

Tancredo’s candidacy will be focused almost entirely on immigration issues, which he hopes to bring to the forefront among the leading Republican candidates of Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney and Sen. John McCain.

The second paragraph is what is really important here.  Tom Tancredo really doesn’t have a chance at getting the nomination for the Republican Party, but I think he is there to influence the debate and force in depth discussion on the illegal immigration problem.

    Who would give money to a candidate who isn’t in the race to win?
