Keyes/Tancredo CP Ticket?
Today Republican presidential candidate and Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo announced that he will not seek re-election to his Congressional seat.
"The issue now has a life of its own and it doesn't need one particular person to champion it," Tancredo said referring to the illegal immigration issue. He went onto say: "I feel my job, my task, has been completed. And I am very much at peace with the idea that if I'm not elected president then I won't be running."
And last Thursday Alan Keyes, another Republican candidate, met with the Constitution Party National Executive Committee.
I believe that it is very possible that these two long shot GOP candidates could become the 2008 Constitution Party presidential ticket.

USA Daily: Paul May Become Front Runner
USA Daily reports that Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul "may quickly go from cellar dweller to Republican front runner after the New Hampshire primary."
The article says that there are signs appearing in private resident homes in New Hampshire which means that its not the campaigns putting the signs up, its the people who live in the homes and that his message is catching on with primary voters.

Huckabee Passes Romney
Mike Huckabee has passed Mitt Romney in support according the most recent Rasmussen Research Poll released on Friday.
The poll has Huckabee at 12%, just ahead of Romney who is at 11%. Giuliani leads the poll with 20% followed by Thompson at 19% and McCain at 14%.
"What we're seeing is the power of message over money and mechanics. Our supporters are enthusiastic because they believe in my conservative message," Huckabee said.
It is evident that no one candidate has the GOP nomination locked up.

Baldwin: 'Bob Jones Dances With The Devil'
Chuck Baldwin, 2004 Constitution Party vice presidential candidate and possible '08 presidential candidate, says that Bob Jones III, chancellor and former president of Bob Jones University, has chosen to "dance with the devil" because of his endorsement of Mitt Romney for President.
"Bob Jones’ endorsement of the former Massachusetts governor illustrates just how low the Religious Right will go in compromising bedrock principle for the sake of political expediency. Jones says he is supporting Romney so as to help defeat Rudy Giuliani. I very much want to see what Jones will do if and when Giuliani gets the Republican nomination. I would anticipate that he will continue to follow his current modus operandi and support Giuliani, because he would then say that Giuliani is the 'lesser of two evils,'" Baldwin says.
He goes onto say: "Why do I say that? Because Jones is already demonstrating that he will support one liberal over another liberal. Mitt Romney is not a conservative--not by any measure of the word. And I am confident that Bob Jones knows it."
Since Bob Jones III's endorsement of Romney, Bob Jones University has released a statement saying that the university does not endorse any candidate for the office of President.

Hargis Named As Adams' VP Running Mate
Today Independent presidential candidate Steve Adams announced that Bob Hargis, who had been running as an Independent presidential candidate himself, is his Vice Presidential running mate.
"Bob and I share many values and stances on the issues. Most importantly we know that we can make a positive change in this country by bringing unity and solutions to our government rather than partisan politics. Bob will not be a traditional Vice President who is never heard from. Rather he will be a valued partner in critical decision making and part of the larger team of experts we will surround ourselves with in Washington," Adams says on his website.

Brownback May Back Giuliani!
Former 2008 Republican presidential candidate Sen. Sam Brownback, who is stauchly pro life and anti gay rights, may endorse Rudy Giuliani. The two were set to meet today. "I’m going to meet with him and I’m going to talk to him and hear what he is specifically saying now because he’s changed on a number of the abortion issues ... I haven’t decided who or if and I haven’t decided when [I will endorse someone]," Politics1 reports Brownback as saying.
This comes from the same person who just last week predicted that Rudy would not get the nomination because he was pro choice. The president of the Iowa Right to Life, Kim Lehman, said that it would be "hypocritical" of Brownback to endorse Giuliani.

GOP Candidate Interview Thursday
Republican presidential candidate Keith Sprankle will be on This Is Politics Thursday, October 25, at 6:00 PM (ET).
Hunter: GOP Not Likely to Nominate Pro Choice Candidate
In an online interview with CBS, Republican presidential candidate Duncan Hunter was asked if the Republican candidate ends up being a social moderate, should conservatives consider a third party.
His response was: "Well, first, I challenge the premise of your question. Because more than two-thirds of the Republican electorate is pro-life. So you’re asking me to presume that the Republican Party, which is dominated by people who are pro-life, would nominate somebody who is not pro-life. I don’t think that happens."

Sprankle: Fox News Pitting Republicans Against Each Other
Long shot Republican presidential candidate Keith Sprankle said in a press realease that during last night's Republican debate that Fox News, which hosted debate, attempted to "pit" the candidates against each other.
Sprankle, who was not invited to the event, said: "The very first set of questions was designed and directed to pit one republican candidate against another directly over personal issues and stands not relevant to the issues of today," Sprankle said.
He goes onto say that: "Tying up the main candidates for over 20 minutes of the 90 minute debate, Fox news sought to invoke media sound bites for news debate rather than allowing a meaningful debate on the issues which real Americans are concerned and worried about."
Keith Sprankle will also be on This Is Politics radio at 6:00 PM (ET) this Thursday, October 25.

Keyes On the FRC Values Voters Summit
The Alan Keyes campaign has a released an article published on their website about this past weekend's FRC Values Voters Summit, which Keyes was not invited to attend.
The letter targest the Family Reasearch Council saying: "Now, you may ask, "Didn't they have to give pro-abortion candidates a platform, in the interest of fairness and balance?" No, they did not. One of the foundational principles of our republic is the right of free association. Nothing in the law requires that an organization surrender this freedom."
Keyes also goes after the front runners: Rudy Giuliani, Fred Thompson, John McCain and Mitt Romney saying that: "All of these candidates have either an outright pro-abortion position or a Stephen A. Douglas-like position that puts states' rights ahead of the God-given — and therefore unalienable — rights to life and liberty."
