HORSERACE

For Once, I'm a Tancredoite

Last night I found myself in absolute agreement with Tom Tancredo as I turned on Univision... and saw no English subtitles or other manner to figure out what the Republican candidates were saying, beyond lip-reading.

Then after the debate, Team Rudy sends me this statement from Viva Rudy National Chairman Raul Romero...

“La fuerte trayectoria, el liderazgo probado y los resultados de Rudy Giuliani se reconocen no importe la audiencia. Los Americanos saben que ellos pueden confiar en Rudy para mantenernos a la ofensiva en la Guerra que llevan los terroristas en contra de nosotros y nuestra economia.”

Just kidding. They sent out the English version, with the Spanish underneath.

“Rudy Giuliani’s strong, tested leadership and record of proven results resonates no matter the audience.  At the end of the day, Americans know they can trust Rudy to keep us on offense on the Terrorists’ War on Us and grow our economy.”

I understand Ron Paul called for open relations with Cuba in South Florida. He's got cahones, I'll give him that.

Without any English simulcast, I'm not sure what the point of this debate was. While I back his stand, I note it was probably wise for Tom Tancredo to not appear in a part of the country that he has labeled "a third world country."
