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After much struggle and persistence, Congressman Tom Tancredo has withdrawn his bid from the race AND also will not serve a sixth term in Congress.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.
