Tancredo Says He Needs Top-3 Finish In Early Votes

Presidential hopeful Tom Tancredo says his campaign for president will be pretty much over with unless he finishes in the top three in either the New Hampshire primary or Iowa caucus. After his run, he says he'll then decide whether to seek re-election to the House from Colorado.Tancredo remains at the bottom of the field, ranking fifth in the latest home-state polls behind Fred Thompson, Rudy Giuliani, John McCain and Mitt Romney. Tancredo says he has influenced the race by forcing other candidates to address his signature issue, illegal immigration. He blames President Bush and Congress for not doing enough to stop illegal immigrants from crossing U.S. borders.
