Tom Tancredo does an interviewwith the Dutch paper Handelsblad — which treats him, credulously, as a “Tea Party prominent” — and drops the hammer on his co-Tea Party Convention speaker Sarah Palin.
“„“I really don’t have this feeling about her as being presidential,” Tancredo said. “I don’t know what it is exactly. I don’t know if the issues really are that difficult for her or not.”
“„He questions if she has what it takes, and whether she really wants it. “As governor of the state of Alaska, she doesn’t have all that kind of experience. She can get better. But I don’t know if she is really looking to do it.’’
“„It could all be a commercial thing, just a way to sell books?
“„“Sure. Make a lot of money and stay in the mix. I think that’s a great idea.’’
“„John McCain has brought over his former running mate to campaign for him in Arizona, where the Tea Party movement is challenging his seat in the Senate.
“„She will campaign against J.D. Hayworth, a friend of yours who is on your side in the immigration debate. What does that tell you about Palin?
“„“That tells me she is a Republican. I am not. I mean, I am a member of that party and that will always stay that way. But to me it’s only a mechanism, a way to get on the ballot and all that. But she is a real Republican.’’
Tancredo’s unlikely to ever re-enter electoral politics, but he remains a hero to a segment of the GOP base that overlaps with Palin’s base.
