DENVER - NBC News is reporting Republican presidential candidate and Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo plans to call it quits in his bid for the GOP nomination for the presidency of the United States of America.

Tancredo scheduled a Thursday news conference in Des Moines for a "major announcement," but did not release any information regarding the meeting. He has consistently polled at the back of the seven-person GOP field.

Tancredo has based his campaign on opposition to illegal immigration, running television ads that link lax border security to terrorist attacks, rape and other crimes.

In a recent ad Tancredo ran in Iowa, he spliced images of tattooed Hispanic men, who he called "Central American gang members," and bloody bodies, blaming "gutless politicians who refuse to defend our borders."

11. I clicked in with the serious intention of making some kinda wiseass remark--

You know, like, "Was he ever in?" or "Tancredo Who?" only to find that most of DU got here ahead of me with the same intent.

Like I always say, some days it just doesn't seem worth the bother to gnaw through the straps.
