Tancredo for governor? An opposition "field day"

U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Littleton, who is ending five terms in Congress having made his mark railing against illegal immigration, told Colorado Public Radio that he's taking a look at running for Colorado governor in 2010 and expects it would be a mud bath. Tancredo's remarks on the race come about 13 minutes into the interview as aired today.

"My negatives may be too high," Tancredo acknowledged to host Ryan Warner. "And today, unfortunately, the reason why everybody runs negative commercials is because they work. Even though everybody goes, ‘I hate them. I can't stand them. It's so ugly.' They work. I'll tell you this, that if I were on the other side - looking at somebody with my background coming in - I'd think, ‘This is going to be a field day.' So I can certainly see what kind of a campaign it would be. I'd give anything to figure out a better way to do it."
