Tom Tancredo has been working his steadily this last week while trying to improve his currently weak standing in the early primaries and caucuses. For some of this last week, Tancredo has been spending his time in New Hampshire in apprehension of its early Caucus. Being a minority candidate without much support, Tancredo has been attending private house parties to lay framework for support, although at this point Tancredo's campaign outlook is lookin weak and he is a very liable to be a drop out, sooner rather than later.
On Wednesday, Tom attended a debate in St. Petersburg, FL, where he sparred with most of the leading Republican Nominee candidates except for Giuliani. He was basically fighting and clawing to earn attention, however in a poll conducted after the debate, in which the participant declared which candidate they would now definatively vote for in the coming primary election, only 1% said they would vote for Tancredo. The results of this poll do not bode well for Tancredo's fortunes, but it will remain to be seen how well his grassroots efforts will impact his campaign.

I don't think Tancredo worked any magic during last week's YouTube debate either. I was especially disappointed with his response to the space exloration question, which he linked to the growing federal budget deficit. I wish some candidate would come out in favor of space exploration by privatizing NASA, but Tancredo doesn't seem to have any interest in pushing new frontiers.
Well right now Tancredo needs to focus his campaign on trying to simply survive the early primaries, and to be honest the issue of privatizing NASA isn't going to propell him to the front of the pack. Space exploration seems to be a hard issue to press upon the American people who for the majority are influenced by what the papers say is important, and that is Iraq, iran, and immigration.
