Tancredo Keeping Options Open

  • 19 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

Tom Tancredo is keeping his options open as he prepares to run for President, according to The Denver Post:

Tom Tancredo isn’t deciding any time soon whether he’s going to leave his congressional seat in order to run for the Republican presidential nomination.

The Littleton Republican said today that he doesn’t intend to decide between the two. Election rules allow him to run for his House seat and the presidential primary at the same time.

“I don’t know that I won’t run again, should things not turn out that I was president of the United States,” Tancredo said.

There’s no real benefit for Tancredo to officially announce that he won’t run for re-election, but many Republicans don’t believe that he will. At  least three Republicans are already preparing campaigns to run in CD-6 and have been active for months.

  1. I remember when there was speculation that he might run for Senate and I thought then as I think now – that he won’t surrender his Congressional seat until he absolutely must.  Seeing as how he appears not to be running for Senate and only  for President, I fully expect him to retain the seat.

    1. it’s an effort to skew the overall debate towards hard-line immigration policy before Tancredo bows out and endorses one of the others.  He won’t give up his Congressional seat, and sadly he’ll probably be safely sitting in it until 2010.

      1. He doesn’t seem stupid enough to believe he has a chance in hell, so obviously his run is based on the knowledge that he’ll lose. Under those circumstances, why would he give up his seat, unless he thought he could bring enough votes home to the eventual GOP candidate to win a cabinet position for himself, which also seems highly improbable.

  2.   BTW, since he’s running for President, has he announced if and when he’ll release his medical, including psychiatric, records detailing his depression back in the 60’s? 
      It was serious enough to keep him out of military service.  Are we sure he’s healthy enough to serve as commander in chief?

      1. Speaking of, when will Holtzy resurface ? I truly miss him. Maybe Pols could do a “where are they now” on him.  Hell, BB even came up for air this week.

        1. ANSWER:  When we least expect him to do so.  (I’m a little surprised Holtzy didn’t make some noise immediately after Both Ways gave his clear, decisive statement the other day that he wouldn’t take himself into or out of the U.S. Senate race.)

  3. He is certain to run for the Congressional House seat again. It’s a good income for someone who has no other marketable skills, and a great platform from which to broadcast any blather that comes into his head.

    Western Arapahoe County and northern Douglas County will faithfully elect a block of granite to any office if it has “Republican” chiseled on it. Check out how difficult it was to get rid of the Arapahoe county clerk who couldn’t keep his fly zipped in the office with his deputy. I fully expect that Karl Rove will retire to an estate in Cherry Hills Village. Its cop shop is has a seamless coordination with the Secret Service.

    Opps! Perhaps I did not account for how much independent wealth (in the form of stocks, etc.) TT may have gathered during his elected office holding years. Perhaps he is destined for big things at KBR.
