Tancredo Hedges His Bet

U.S. Representative Tom Tancredo, one of the 24 prospective 2008 presidential candidates, isn't giving up his congressional seat. Election rules allow him to run for his House seat and the presidential primary at the same time. Tancredo said yesterday that he doesn't intend to decide between the two.

"I don't know that I won't run again, should things not turn out that I was president of the United States," Tancredo said.

Such hedging bothers me. I think these presidential wannabees should have to chose one or the other. What would be wrong with that?

It seems like a smart move to not to give one up when you can have both of them. Anyway, he doesn't seem to have a change of winning on the 2008 presidential race. It doesn't bother me also since the rules allow it.
