I think Tancredo will be in the Republican primary to get media attention and won't win the Republican nomination. However, I think he'll run for a third party (Constitution Party) and won't do as badly as Buchanan did. I think he could be a surprise if he runs as a 3rd party candidate. I may be a moderate Democrat but I'm really concerned about illegal immigration and I don't see the Republicans or Democrats offering any strong support for this issue. Could a one-issue candidate like Tancredo make a strong showing?

I think he'll start out in the GOP primaries. However, I don't see him doing well there, and could see him switching to a 3rd party ticket - probably the Constitution Party, though there are several fringe parties that may also give him their nod.

Yes, I think Tancredo could make a strong showing. And I don't think he's a one-issue candidate, however he is strong on doing something about illegal immigration which is a definite plus.
The media will try to tear him down (because he is conservative), but I think his integrity can withstand it. Let's see how it plays out...

He will at least force the other candidates to discuss and debate the issue. (In comparison, Edwards will get nowhere this time around just talking about poverty.)
