It's A Rectangular State, So It Will Require Less Border Fencing!

Virulent anti-immigration nutball and part-time racist Tom Tancredo is going to be running for governor of Colorado.

The Denver Post reports that, “while he has yet to formally declare his candidacy or fill out paperwork with the secretary of state’s office,” Tom Tancredo told a reporter that he “fully intends to run” for governor. When asked if he is running for Governor, Tom Tancredo told another local news station, “That is exactly what I anticipate doing.” After a brief run for President in 2008, Tancredo has been polishing his credentials over the past year by doing his part to coarsen the political discourse on television:

– Said he “didn’t know” if Obama “hates white people.”
– Argued Justice Sonia Sotomayor is a member of the “Latino KKK without the hoods or the nooses” and that she “appears to be a racist.”
– Claiming Obama may “indeed” be “a racist” because he nominated “Sonia Mayer” for the Supreme Court.

After Tancredo resigned from Congress, he told the press that he regretted being known for being anti-immigrant. A few months later, the proud nativist told a young Republicans gathering that he’d be open to halting all immigration to the United States.

Rasmussen has Colorado's current Dem Gov. Bill Ritter losing to GOP challenger Scott McInnis by 5 in a state that is trending blue.  Tancredo would definitely be the Hoffman in this race, especially since McInnis's primary challenger, State Senate Minority Leader Josh Penry, dropped out of the race on Monday.  Tancredo would in effect be splitting the GOP ticket between him and McInnis, giving Ritter then a good shot at winning.

Which side will the Teabaggers support in Colorado, McInnis or Tancredo?
