While Tancredo's Republican bid is widely regarded as a long shot, the reaction he has received so far in Iowa shows his campaign can't be entirely dismissed, political analysts say. He hasn't left much of a footprint in Congress, and yet, driven by an anti-illegal immigrant wind, he now audaciously has become a single-issue candidate for president, his fists bared as he derides a bipartisan immigration reform plan being debated in the Senate or calls his opponents "soft."Yes he is a single issue candidate. On every other issue he sounds exactly like the 8 other Republican candidates. But wait...there are 9 other candidates. Thats right, Tancredo sounds nothing like Ron Paul. But if immigration is your number one priority, along with looking for Jack Bauer in case of a national emergency (Tancredo said he would during the Republican Debates) then Tancredo might just be your man.
