That candidate is Dan Maes and he's polling in the single digits. Tancredo served as a [[conservative]] Republican Congressman representing the suburbs of [[Denver]] and has been outspoken against [[illegal immigration]] <ref>http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/discussion/2006/03/29/DI2006032901468.html</ref>. Often vilified by [[liberals]] and targeted for defeat, he was re-elected in 2006 in a landslide by a margin of 59%-40%. He announced his retirement from the House in hopes of winning the [[White House]], though he withdrew from the presidential race in December of 2007. | + | '''Tom ("Thomas Gerard") Tancredo''' (b. 1945) is the Independent ticket, the [[American Constitution Party]] nomination for Governor of Colorado.
