Sen. Barack Obama has announced he's created an exploratory committee about running for president. And in other places he's quoted as telling Iowa party leaders that he's definitely in. So what does unknown-outside-his-state Rep. Tom Tancredo decide to do? He's launching his exploratory committee too. Way to capture that news cycle!
I'm no C-SPAN geek who knows every representative and senator (I barely recall the name of my town's mayor), but if Congressman Tancredo is looking to get much attention and still have a viable candidacy by the end of 2007, he's going to need some help forming a message beyond his attitude against immigration and getting that message to the public. I don't know that this image on an unofficial blog will help him in New Jersey, for example. Perhaps he doesn't care since Jersey's been a pretty blue state the past few elections, but my first impression is he needs some work. Who was the last one-issue president elected?
