Whether you love Tom Tancredo or loathe him, there's no denying that he's a highly unusual politician. Whereas many of his peers always seem to be speaking from a heavily lawyered script, he talks off the cuff with a lack of self-consciousness that's startling and refreshing. He exhibited that quality this morning when discussing his recent meeting with embattled Republican rival Dan Maes and Democratic attack ads he's thus far avoided, but which he expects would attempt to brand him a "racist, Nazi bastard."
