Tancredo Tries to Blackmail the CO GOP
Republican Tom Tancredo is taking matters into his own hands in the Colorado governor’s race. After publicly complaining to The Upshot about the Republican candidates, Tancredo has now issued an outright threat.
“Regardless of the outcome of the Primary election on August 10, on August 11 the winner must agree to remove himself from consideration if polling on that date shows that he is losing the race for Governor,” the former congressman and 2008 presidential candidate said in a statement Thursday. “If either or both choose to ignore this request, and do not make a public commitment to this end no later than noon on Monday, July 26, I will announce on that day that I will seek the nomination of the American Constitution Party for Governor of Colorado.”
Well, now, I think the Democratic candidate must have a big smile on his face!
I hope Tancredo does enter the race, and let the world see him scupper any chance of the GOP winning the election as he draws all the hard-right xenophobes to himself.
