Regardless of the fate of his 2008 long-shot White House bid, Representative Tom Tancredo said Monday that he would not seek another term in Congress. The five-term Colorado congressman’s retirement from Congress marks the latest addition to a long list of GOP retirements announced so far for 2008. Tancredo, 61, for whom fighting illegal immigration has become his signature issue, said the issue has come to the fore and no longer needs to be promoted as he has done.

I am really going to miss having Tancredo in the House.  He has been one of the staunchest conservative voices in the Republican Party since the day he took office and his retirement, while good for him, is our loss in Washington.
