He just sounded like a dead man walking; it was pretty obvious he was on the verge of dropping out of the race. I don't think he's going to be making a comeback; I could be wrong, but all of the campaigning recently has really taken its toll on the dude. Not that I feel sorry for him- my sense of schadenfreude says it's kind of nice to know that he's paying dearly for his xenophobic run for President. The XM interview was actually interesting, too, because Tancredo was expressing that he's quite happy with where the debate on immigration has moved in the last 10 years (much to my chagrin, and admittedly in large part due to Tancredo's own efforts to spread xenophobia). He even suggested that he's not sure there's much left for him to do (part of the reason it was clear he was about to drop out of the race). FWIW, the rest of my analysis of this is here: http://publiusendures.blogspot.com/2007/12/one-reason-tancredo-is-dropping-out.html Also, I made a somewhat significant announcement yesterday that you all may want to check out.
