"Hi, I'm Monday Morning Clacker And I Approved This Message Because Someone Has To Say It"

Mr. Tancredo, you're one hell of a fear monger, but it's time for you to drop out of the race.

We just had to say it.

New Hampshire First-In-The-Nation Bids Goodbye To Tom Tancredo

He's leaving. On a jet plane. Don't know when he'll be back again.

Long-shot candidate Tom Tancredo is dramatically scaling back his NH campaign.

Per the Rocky Mountain News.

Rep. Tom Tancredo plans to change direction in his long-shot presidential campaign so he can pressure fellow Republicans into rejecting an immigration reform plan he considers "amnesty."

Before a debate tonight on CNN, Tancredo, R-Littleton, told reporters he soon plans to scale back his weekly visits to the early caucus and primary states of Iowa and New Hampshire.

And we never got to ask Tancredo where he would "start" if he got his chance to build a cement moat around the United States.

Bummer.

Top 10 Reasons You Should Read GreenMountainPolitics1 Everyday

It's official - we make smart people laugh.

This is GreenMountainPolitics1's 100th post on the '08 NH Presidential Primary and we're just getting warmed up.

To celebrate, we've created a Top 10 list of our favorite stories so far.

We might be "Snarky" (we're in awe of you too J.W.), but we're a FUN Snarky.

We'll see you on the Trail.

TOP TEN REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD READ GREENMOUNTAINPOLITICS1 EVERYDAY

10. Because we caught Tom Tancredo building a wall between his NH office and John McCain's NH office.

9. Because we learned that Barack Obama's definition of "open" might not be your definition of "open".

8. Because we covered Cindy McCain's first trip to NH in 6 years and foolishly compared ourselves to Charlie Bartlett.

7. Because we caught Bill Richardson loving on a piece of dough. And we still haven't gotten over it.

6. Because we reported that Harry Reid is no doctor.

5. Because we declared Mike Huckabee the dark horse candidate 2 months before Carville did.

4. Because we were there when John McCain told Bill's wife to "Be a man!"

3. Because we reported on the Biden/Ifill dust-up even though no one else caught it.

2. Because we are willing to take on Katie Levinson. And her tummy.

1. Because we were the first to report that God doesn't want Mitt Romney to be President.

McCain's NH Team Welcomes Tancredo's NH Team To Their Neighborhood, Fight Breaks Out Over Use Of The Word "Illegal"

DiStaso breaks Big Fish. GreenMountainPolitics1 breaks Guppies.

Today we learned that McCain's NH Campaign Office, located on the 3rd floor of 250 Commercial Street in Manchester, has a new neighbor.

Tom Tancredo, who is also running for the Republican nomination for President, is taking over office space right across the hall from McCain.

Our spy, who saw Team Tancredo stringing Razor Wire along the hallway, was told by Tancredo's campaign staff, "Good walls make good neighbors."

Yikes.

Granite State Quickie: Hunter And Tancredo Are In, Huckabee Is Really In, Big Love Attacks Brownback For Mitt-Flopping & The Bloody Sox Backs McCain

When there isn't time, a quickie will have to do.

On Saturday, GreenMountainPolitics1 attended Congressman Tom Tancredo's announcement that he is seeking the Republican nomination for President.

Our new friend, Phillip Elliot of the Associated Press, has the story here.

We were disappointed that we were unable to ask Mr. Tancredo, "Congressman, you have proposed building a cement wall around the entire United State. Where do you start?"

Maybe next time.

GreenMountainPolitics1 also covered Duncan Hunter's announcement today in Newington that he is seeking the Republican nomination for President.

The former Chairman of the House Armed Services committee held his campaign rally at the corporate headquarters of Wilcox Industries.

The picture we took this morning of the campaign rally is stuck to the top of this post.

Hmm. Wilcox Industries.

From Wilcox's website:

Wilcox is an industry leader in the design and manufacture of high quality tactical equipment for use by Special Operations units within the United States.

Within the United States?

Would the Manchurian Candidate movie be as fun if the Manchurian Corporation had been totally up front about its plans to put their man in the White House?

Former Southern Fat Boy and successful Governor of Arkansas, Mike Huckabee, dazzled on Meet the Press yesterday.

Huckabee announced that he was running for President. The transcript of the show can be found here.

I've said it before, I'll say it again, Mike Huckabee is John McCain biggest rival for the Republican nomination.

Huckabee just needs to raise $15 million dollars in the next 4 months.

In yet another example that Mitt Romney is a tool shed, Big Love has attacked Sam Brownback for Mitt-Flopping on abortion.

Eyeon08 has the story here.

Sam Brownback is many things to many people. One thing that Senator Brownback is not is soft on "faith based issues".

Love's concern that "true" conservatives in the race take supporters directly away from his campaign is justified, but we feel that if Love should be more concerned about Huckabee than Brownback at this point.

Then there is the issue of the pot calling the kettle black. It's called Mitt-Flopping for goodness sakes.

Finally, Curt Schilling, Red Sox pitcher and owner of the most famous bloody sox in history, is backing John McCain for President.

Schilling made the comments on Sports Talk Radio this morning and the audio may be found here.
