Presidential candidate Tom Tancredo has said he will make a “major campaign announcement” Thursday in De Moines, Iowa. The Greenville News‘ Dan Hoover notes that, “unless he’s naming his running mate, I can’t imagine anything else he’d consider major beside getting out.” Assuming Tancredo does drop out, it probably won’t have much of an impact in South Carolina — even if he does endorse someone — because he’s barely showing up in statewide polling and his name ID rivals that of most unborn children.

Regardless, this would certainly make the ballot a little less cluttered so it’s easier for me to find John McCain’s name on Jan. 19.
