Tancredo: Tancs for the Memory

His last ad tossed a bomb into the campaign, but the shockwaves didn’t raise Tancredo above the bottom of the pack. Still, his quixotic presidential run has had its effect: The first third of last week’s CNN debate was dominated by questions regarding immigration, the issue that Tancredo vowed to bring to the fore, and as Tancredo himself got to say – finally – the other candidates were “out-Tancredoing Tancredo.”

Now, if only everyone could learn how to pronounce his name before he returns to Colorado. — Patricia Calhoun
