Tancredo to end presidential run

Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO) will end his presidential run tomorrow, sources within the campaign are telling Associated Press.

Although illegal immigration has become a high profile issue, one that Tancredo embraced before almost anyone, the Colorado Republican was never able to escape being tagged as a single issue candidate.

Pajamas Media's Richard Miniter believes Tancredo will now endorse former Tennessee senator Fred Thompson's campaign.

If that's true, I wonder if Tancredo decided to back Thompson before this Roger Simon article was published?

I figured Tancredo's campaign was in trouble when I received an e-mail from another blogger three weeks ago asking for volunteers to gather signatures to get him on the ballot in Illinois.

UPDATE Dec 20 3:20PM CST: AP was wrong, Tancredo says he's endorsing Mitt Romney.
