Tancredo running for President?
The blogosphere - from SquareState to RedState - is buzzing about this unsubstantiated tidbit from The Des Moines Register:
Colorado Republican Tom Tancredo is on his way to Iowa to announce his candidacy for president. Tancredo, a U.S. House member, plans to be in Iowa Friday through Monday, with public book signings in Council Bluffs Saturday and West Des Moines Saturday.
Now at the risk of being unpopular, this blogger places the blame for all of this squarely on you, the voters.

I certainly hope so. Whether or not he wins, he'll put the immigration issue into the national spotlight, where it belongs. Maybe it'll even tear down the taboo that's been built up around talking about immigration.
No nation can survive refusing to discuss its own problems.
Anon,
The idea that you think there is some sort of taboo about illegal immigration is frightening. It was the major issue of the 2006 Colorado elections. Every candidate addressed it too the exclusion of more important issues. The media covered it non-stop. There were marches, debates, tons of new laws passed in a special session. Illegal immigration crusaders like Dick Lamm even admitted they had gobe too far, and stolen the spotlight from equally deserving issues.
