Tancredo's Ad
By
Garance seems shocked that this Tom Tancredo ad would actually air in Iowa:
To me, it's not surprising at all. I used to think that 2008 was going to see a Tancredo surge based on his ability to tap into grassroots loathing of brown-skinned people on the home front as well as in foreign policy. But then came the comprehensive reform fiasco which happened early enough in the race to get all the mainstream candidates on the anti-immigration bandwagon, so as a result Tancredo needs to escalate his rhetoric to stay relevant.
