Ta-ta, Tom T!

In case you missed it, Representative Tom Tancredo of Colorado has finally withdrawn from the race for the Republican presidential nomination.

He needed to do so a long time ago. The field has been too crowded for too long, and will remain so even after his departure.

(If you're having trouble placing him, he's the guy who was always talking about illegal immigration.)

In fact, I guess you have to admire him for staying "on topic" throughout his failed campaign. He was, quite simply, a one issue candidate. And, that doomed him from the start. A viable candidate must have considerably more depth than that.

His departure makes the choice even more clear for ye Republican socks. We need Mike Huckabee as the next President of the United States. And, the sooner we coalesce around his candidacy, the greater our victory will be over the Clinton-Obama nightmare the Democrats are threatening to visit upon us all.

Go, Mike, go!
