Tancredo has two main campaign themes:
- his long-standing anger about illegal immigration;
- his wish to legalize marijuana

The latter stance is interesting, because he's never taken such a position before. He did say, when asked by reporters during his quixotic race for the 2008 GOP nomination about his stance on cannabis issues, that he had no interest in cannabis issues and thus had no position.

Ya know, he just might pull it off. The two GOP candidates are known losers, neither one can beat Hickenlooper, but in a 3-way race Tancredo might just get a plurality. Fun to watch this one!

Tancredo, like Hugo Chavez, is one of those political figures that's either really loved or really hated. Many people who would support his second position wouldn't support his bigotry or chicken-hawkery.

My gripe with Tancredo's call to impeach Obama is why didn't he impeach the POTUS in 7 prior administrations of Reagan, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Clinton, Bush, Bush, i.e. 28 years of NOT fixing the problem. Now he wants to impeach the guy who's the current stickee in the hot seat? Gimme a break.

Tancredo's basically insane (like Chavez)
