The time approaches when Tom Tancredo will have to decide whether he can continue his Presidential bid or whether or not to run for reelection to his Colorado House seat, reports Steven K. Paulson for the Associated Press:
GOP presidential candidate Tom Tancredo said Monday that his campaign will be "pretty much over with" unless he can finish in the top three in either the New Hampshire or Iowa primary contests.Then, he says he'll decide whether to seek re-election to the House.
Donors will determine the fate of his White House campaign, Tancredo said.
Read the rest at the above link. His Presidential campaign doesn't seem to be going anywhere, but it's surprising he might not seek reelection. Serving in the House as a member of the Minority is quite a different kettle of fish than when in the Majority, and Republicans already face defending several more open seats than Democrats next year.

He's my congressman. I'd be willing to bet money that he runs again. We're a largely Republican district and we love him. No Democrat has come close to beating him in any election.
Now having said that, my neighbor works for his office and if I see her I'll ask her what she thinks. But my belief is that he has many issues that he'd like to keep raising and he'll do that best from congress.
Kim, I don't believe he's popular enough to win a statewide election. The Denver Post will do everything it can to destroy him. And unfortunately Colorado is looking awfully blue these days. :(

My guess was purely that he might be seeking adminstrative experience. Perhaps he's best in Congress, for now. As Veep candidate he could keep the West reddish.

Keep your Colo. seat Tom. You have some opposition in Armstrong. You better get back to Colo. and campaign. You are not going to be Prez or VP so win that safe seat Tom and keep fighting for closing the borders.
