Tom Beaumont said in his blog yesterday that Colorado Republican
Representative Tom Tancredo "is on his way to Iowa to announce his
candidacy for President." While we can't find anyone else to confirm this
at this stage, the prospect is interesting none-the-less. Before the New
Year when we posed our 2008 questions, we asked who would take the mantle
for the "Steve King wing" of the party on immigration. Clearly if Tancredo
gets in the race it would be him. Known almost entirely for his strong
stance on immigration, the whole purpose of a Tancredo run would be to
bring immigration to the forefront.
