Denver Post columnist Al Knight asks the question: Tancredo for president in 2008? Well, why not?. My response: How much time do we have?

Knight goes on to write the following about Tancredo:

His critics (and he has plenty both in Colorado and elsewhere) have tried for years to picture him as a kind of nut, obsessed with one topic to the exclusion of all others. That hasn't worked, primarily because he has demonstrated the ability to thoughtfully articulate his views.

Are we talking about the same man who suggested during a July 2005 radio interview that we should "take out" the holiest city in Islam in response to possible nuke attacks on the United States by terrorists? Or the one who recently made news by referring to Miami as a "third world country?" Whatever you think of the merits of either of those views, "thoughtfully articulate" is not a phrase that springs to mind to describe them.
