Tancredo to Drop Out?
Posted on December 19, 2007
Update: Tancredo drops out and endorses….Romney?
Republican presidential candidate Tom Tancredo plans to drop out of the race during an announcement Thursday afternoon in Des Moines, Iowa, GOP sources close to the campaign have told FOX News.
Tancredo, who has aggressively pushed his anti-illegal immigration message throughout the GOP primary race, has not been able to break through in the polls against his better known competitors. He and California Rep. Duncan Hunter typically poll in the single digits behind Texas Rep. Ron Paul in national surveys.
Tancredo would not personally confirm whether he will pull out of the race.
“I will neither confirm nor deny that report,†Tancredo told FOX News. But he added, “I wouldn’t have a press conference if I didn’t have anything to say.â€
Most speculate that he will endorse Fred Thompson.
Who will he endorse? The Tancredo immigration imprimatur could be quite a get. It won’t be Huck, whom Tanc called out at the last debate. It won’t be Rudy, thanks to his sanctuary city policy. It probably won’t be Mitt after his landscaping debacle. That leaves the guy endorsed by Steve King himself. He’s only 20 points off the pace. Fredmentum!
We will find out soon enough.

I doubt he backs Fred who is another comprehensive immigration supporter. He may for other reasons.
Being that him and Dr. Paul are very close friends, I wouldn’t doubt that he endores Dr. Paul.
I know the head of the minietmen is going to after the offical annuncment comes down.
So sorry Fred-Heads
