He Did It Illegal Immigration Now Top Issue Time Magazine -- December 20 Tancredo's Single Issue Victory     Tancredo was always a self-professed one-issue candidate. And far from being disappointed at his meager poll showings, Tancredo says he achieved more in this election cycle than he dreamt possible. In part due to his cage- rattling, immigration is one of the biggest issues in the race, on both sides of the aisle.     True to his single issue focus, Tancredo chose to throw his support behind former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney out of a mixture of agreement and spite. Romney, "has actually got a record," said Tancredo. "He was governor of a liberal state but opposed drivers licenses for illegal immigrants and instate tuition for illegal immigrants at a time when they weren't issues on the national scene." As for why the endorsement came now, Tancredo admitted he hoped to hurt the chances of rivals Mike Huckabee and John McCain - both of whom he views as weak on immigration.  Tancredo / Romney / Huckabee / Missouri / Local Transcript Past Features   Operation B.E.E.F.
