Key GOP enclave sending message in backing Tancredo By Anne C. Mulkern Denver Post Staff Writer Washington - Rep. Tom Tancredo's calls to strengthen the southern border are resonating loudly near the northern one, where some Republicans have named him as their top choice for U.S. president. Tancredo, R-Colo., won a straw poll of Republicans in Macomb County, Mich., on the 2008 presidential race. Tancredo won 60 of the 327 GOP delegates, about 18 percent, in the key Republican county, a suburb of Detroit, beating 13 others, including Sen. John McCain of Arizona, former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and even Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, son of former Michigan Gov. George Romney. The win did not signify an earnest drive to put Tancredo in the Oval Office, however. "The participants that voted for him in the poll stated they were doing so to show their displeasure with the immigration policy that's being discussed in Washington," said Saul Anuzis, chairman of the Michigan GOP. "It was less a vote for who they wanted for president and more of a protest vote." Immigration is a major issue for Republican voters, Anuzis said. They are outraged about the bill passed in the Senate that would allow many illegal immigrants to eventually apply for citizenship, he said. denverpost.com
