Medved Tancredo...

[moostraks]

Any truth to this Medved just said Tancredo quit?? Not surprised after how he's been treated at debates but the field is narrowing and we are still here despite how they treat us!!!!

Tancredo Presser in Iowa

(Washington, D.C.) – Presidential candidate Congressman Tom Tancredo (R-CO) will hold a presser to make a major announcement regarding the campaign.
___________________________________________________________________

I assume he's dropping out and giving someone an endorsement.
Duncan Hunter maybe?

Looks like it's true.

 

[kushaze]

I wonder who Tancredo will endorse, if anyone.

 

[Forefall]

Heard from a friend that is/was a Tancredo supporter that he'll back Thompson if he drops out. Just word of mouth, nothing solid here.

 

[Mark Rushmore]

Alan Moore, Tancredo's press secretary, told the Des Moines Register that the GOP candidate has no presidential events scheduled after the Thursday press conference. That's leading to additional speculation that Tancredo will drop out of the presidential race.

[fortilite]

Maybe he's coming out of the closet: He's really a Mexican immigrant.

 

[Minlawc]

I can see him endorsing Thompson or Hunter. Man, why are better ones always lower in the polls? Not saying that I like them, they're just not as bad...

 

[TheNewYorker]

I heard he's deciding between choosing to endorse Ron Paul or Thompson. Recently there was an article about Ron Paul here on Tancredo's website asking for Paul to distance himself from a pro-illegal immigration aritcle written by a Hispanic Ron Paul supporter:

I think Tancredo is hoping Ron Paul will do that for Tancredo can endorse him. If Ron Paul does not do that, then he is going to endorse Thompson.

Look, we really NEED Tancredo's endorsement. Tancredo's support base is bigger than most of you think. We complain that the media censors us and says that the Ron Paul support base is smaller than it really is, well, they do that to Tancredo too.

WE ALL NEED TO E-MAIL RON PAUL AND THE CAMPAIGN STAFF IMMEDIATELY AND ASK THEM TO GIVE INTO TANCREDO'S REQUEST FOR PAUL TO DISTANCE HIMSELF FROM THE PRO-ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION ARTICLE ON LEWROCKWELL.COM, FOR WE CAN GET TANCREDOS ENDORSEMENT!

THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE ASAP!

DON'T LET RON PAUL DROP THE BALL ON THIS ONE!

I agree 100%

Let's contact the campaign HQ.

Ron Picking up Tancredo's endorsement would be big in Iowa and NH. Republican primary voters are very concerned about illegal immigration, and this may tip many voters our way.

 

[JAHOGS]

He will not endorse RP guys.... But what do I know?

 

[Jmaths117]

We should definitely contact the campaign about this. Come on, folk, the more people the better. If Tancredo endorses Paul, that could help us a lot.

 

[rfbz]

it would seem odd to call RP out on something in a negative way and then turn around & endorse him a few days later, but who knows

i agree, but i don't see it happening.

 

[steph3n]

medved is snooping on our forums now? we have the inside scoop on EVERYTHING we are faster than the MSM

 

[TheNewYorker]

He wants Ron Paul to clarify his position! He's not "calling ron paul out".

Tancredo wants to endorse Ron Paul, they are friends, but Tancredo will not endorse Paul if Paul does not distance himself from the pro-illegal immigration article on lewrockwell.com that was written by a hispanic Ron Paul supporter!!

uh couldn't he just pick up the phone and call Ron Paul if he really wanted to know? You might be right though

 

[JerzieJennie]

Hmmm... Playing with percentages

I know nationally, Tancredo isnt even showing up on the polls, but in this Iowa poll, they have Tancredo at 3% and Dr. P at 6%. 9% would put Dr P up above Giuliani and McCain. Plus that doesnt count the bump we're getting before primaries... and that basically 100% of Ron Paul supporters will vote. Just food for thought. Those 3% have to go somewhere, and I cant see them going to Giuliani/ Hunter / Romney.

He could call Paul and ask, but that's not the point. I'm sure Tancredo already knows Paul is against illegal immigration, since they are friends and all.

But, Tancredo wants the public to know that Paul is against illegal immigration, that's why he's calling for Paul to publically distance himself from that immigration article on lewrockwell.com.

Tancredo doesn't want to tarnish his record by flip-flopping and endorsing someone who is pro-illegal immigration in the public's eyes.

Another reason a Tancredo endorsement would be great

Joseph Farah of Worldnetdaily (who just won't come around to Paul since he doesn't want to invade middle easter countries and put Israel over America), has endorsed Tancredo. If Tancredo drops out and endorses Paul it would be hard to argue Paul as the best choice for that audience. And it's a big audience. Farah drives me crazy with some of his views but worldnetdaily got me into politics a few years ago and I think it's a great site overall. At least when they disagree with Paul it's on policy and not in a belittling manner at all.
