In Conclusion

In retrospect, what exactly did Tom Tancredo accomplish through his campaign which never reached a vote? Even with his endorsement of Romney, his supporters are unlikely to clump together towards the mormon. Tancredo did not recieve much support, struggled to gain any popularity in the polls, but did have one minor achievement.
His persistence upon bringing the Immigration issue into every debate and appearence did influence the front runners of the race for the Republican Nomination to fight amongst themselves. The lead has changed so many times, and Tancredo's insistence upon the immigration issue has aided this shake up. So while Tancredo has little to show for his efforts, he can smile knowing he has helped get this Republican race to where it is: a mess with no front runner, although his endorsement is gaining an upper hand. So in conclusion, Tancredo has been able to affect the outcome of the race, just not in a way he probably expected

Tom Tancredo recently sent a letter to President Bush which asked him to reconsider his decision to admit 10,000 refugees from Bhutan in the US. Because of Tancredo’s strong stance on immigration, he obviously wants these refugees to return to their country and not to settle in ours. Despite the dropping out of the race in late December, Tom Tancredo has not been up to much. He has endorsed Mitt Romney and plans on supporting him throughout the rest of the race.

Tancredo drops out

Tancredo met with the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize Nominee and the former US Ambassador of the United Nations John Bolton recently where they discussed many issues. These included the Six Party conversations about the North Korean weapons program, future developments in Iraq, and efforts to halt the Iranian nuclear program.

After much struggle and persistence, Congressman Tom Tancredo has withdrawn his bid from the race AND also will not serve a sixth term in Congress. He says that both are un related actions. Tancredo dropped out Thursday consequently endorsing the rival Republican Mitt Romney saying that he is the best man to carry the fight. He has been recently being polled at the bottom of the nine person Republican competition. His reason for dropping out is his fear that if he had stayed in, there would be a split in the vote for other candidates who had a strong opinion on illegal immigration which would in turn help those with a less strong opinion on immigration. He chose Romney to endorse because Romney had a very strong view on illegal immigration and will actually do something about it if elected president.
