Bye Bye, Tom Tancredo

  Jonathan Martin [1]at the politico is reporting that Tom Tancredo is about ready to call it quits. Which, as it happens is approximately as important as announcing that the 17th St kazoo band is going to be playing in East Podunk, the night of super Tuesday.

Fox [2] has picked up the call, now, too:

Republican presidential candidate Tom Tancredo plans to drop out of the race during an announcement Thursday afternoon in Des Moines, Iowa, GOP sources close to the campaign have told FOX News.

Tancredo, who has aggressively pushed his anti-illegal immigration message throughout the GOP primary race, has not been able to break through in the polls against his better known competitors. He and California Rep. Duncan Hunter typically poll in the single digits behind Texas Rep. Ron Paul in national surveys.

Tancredo would not personally confirm whether he will pull out of the race.

Tancredo had the immigration thing down right. Too bad that was the limit of his ability in the area of getting it right.
