Tancredo sees loss in Huckabee win
For Tom Tancredo, who stepped out of the Republican race to support Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee's runaway win in Iowa on Thursday spelled big trouble for the Colorado congressman's anti-illegal-immigration cause.

"It's a discouraging thing," Tancredo said. "Because, really, to tell the truth, the real winner in this thing is McCain. . . . I think he's the worst in the bunch."

During his run for the GOP presidential nomination, Tancredo — whose single issue was a hard-line stance against illegal immigration — deeply criticized John McCain, the Arizona senator, for reform measures Tancredo equated with amnesty.

Tancredo said he thought Romney could fight back, if he had the will. Asked whether he wished he had remained in the race, Tancredo said no, adding that he was happy to be home with his family in his Littleton district. "I'd rather be here tonight than anywhere in Iowa," he said, laughing.
