Anyone really thought that he would have a chance?? His only issue was immigration. That is all he talked about. Hes a Lou Dobbs type of guy. He thought that by creating more racial tension he would get Americans to vote for him. Good thing Americans are too smart for that.

Not at all. Being a xenophobe could only take him so far.

Tancredo is an American patriot who knew that he had no chance of being elected president. He wanted to bring the issue of illegal immigration to the attention of the American people, and he succeeding. Also, the racial tension is being created by la raza supporting the Mexican invasion of our country. Anyone who supports this mass illegal alien invasion is a traitor.
Also, are you kidding me about the American people being too smart? Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people. We voted for Jimmy Carter and W. Bush didn't we? We are no geniuses, pal.

While I don't think he would have had a chance because he only was for one issue, he did put a fire under the other politicians about the issue of immigration and enforcement, which is very important for a lot more people than they previously let on....

He hasn't been off of the bottom of the polls once, and he said himself that he is a one-issue candidate. I am glad he helped put illegal immigration on the front of everyone's minds, but not at all surprised that he dropped out. He stood no chance with only one issue...even though he was 100% correct on that one issue.
David...not likely. Tancredo supporters (though few) would not run to Paul. They are more likely to go to Romney as Tancredo supports him as well.

Yes it is - he was one of the few hopes for this country. Let me know how you like living on the global plantation.

This guy WAS a one issue candidate. He was the only candidate to refuse the Univision Debate broadcast in Spanish. He also made comments that Miami was a 3rd world country.
What a HACK!!

He probably realized he doesn't have a chance so why waste all that time and money to continue.
I'm amazed that Kucinich hasn't come to the same conclusion.

Apparently all of his supporters are now supporting Ron Paul. In a public statement, Paul said he was more than happy to have 6 more votes.
