Colorado, at least, won’t have Tom Tancredo to kick around any more.
Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo has had enough. Of Congress, that is.
The five-term member of the U.S. House and long-shot presidential candidate has decided he will not run for reelection in 2008, ending his congressional career as he continues to seek the White House.
His staff confirmed the decision, which Tancredo spilled first in an interview with the Rocky Mountain News Monday. “I really believe I have done all I can do in the House,” Tancredo told the paper.
I will give Tancredo one point: he didn’t truckle to the GOP power structure. Aside from that, he’s largely a xenophobic nut. And he is, sadly, my US Representative.
I don’t have any doubt that my conservative suburban district will elect another Republican. But I’m more than happy to see Tom head off into the think tank sunset.
Rep. John Andrews.
Rep. Dan Caplis.
I can keep going. ;P
One nut at a time …
Reading the Rocky at lunch:
Andrews does not want it and Caplis is still thinking of running for Allred’s seat.
The only name I recognized as a possile is the lieing Sec. Of State Coffman.
