Appears to be nothing but choosing someone who he thinks can win, even tho he isn't 100% on board with his principals. So, while I give him credit for being that one issue candidate, no way I give him credit for backing down on his principals.

He served his cause well and helped elevate the issue of illegal immigration to the top of the political debate. That's quite an accomplishment. And I commend him for dropping out before Iowa so that his supporters can join the Stop Huck movement. And of course, his few supporters are now free to make up their own minds on whom to support.

As I said in the update, it appears his vaunted principals went to the wayside...

Romney? What? I don't hate Romney, but the only way this makes sense for Tancredo is either - Romney offered him something, or - Tancredo figures only Huckabee, Giuliani, and Romney have a chance, and he wants to back the least objectionable of the three (on immigration). Strange choice I think.

Hunter is polling even lower than Tancredo from what I can tell - if Tancredo decides to drop out because his prospects look bad, why throw support to someone whose prospects are even worse? But I suppose it's possible - if Tancredo feels like he has to endorse *someone*, and all of the leading candidates aren't tough enough on immigration for him.
