Tancredo was supposed to be in Charlotte last night for an anti-immigration rally but he turned tail and ran.  The official line was that he "had a death in the family" but the rest of the Republican party cancelled too(except for Bay Buchanan) because they were scared to go to the westside school where the event was held, that it might be "dangerous".  Baloney. They were outnumbered by more than 3:1 by those protesting the scapegoating of immigrants in the propaganda onslaught to scare the American public into thinking that only the Republicans will keep us safe.  Tancredo and the rest of the chickenhawks were too afraid to go to a school in Mayberry? But they sent in Bay Buchanan.  Ok. And these are the clowns that are supposed to be protecting us from all the evildoers out there?

Solid answers to the questions, but I found it tiring to skip through references to "Tancredo".  When I read interviews I automatically edit out any negative references, preferring to read about the person being interviewed, not the opponent.

Note on Demint Poll:  you left off "irrelevant".

These interviews really provide the opportunity to see where these candidates stand.

Thanks!

I just wish we could get somebody like this to run in my district in Virginia.
