Tancredo jokes he’ll have a skeet shooting contest to pick running-mate
HUDSON, N.H. -- During a visit to a gun store, Republican presidential candidate Tom Tancredo was asked by a reporter what he would do to make sure his vice presidential candidate had better aim than Dick Cheney. Cheney accidentally shot his friend last year on a hunting trip.
“It is a good question and I really haven’t thought about it,” said Tancredo, a Colorado Congressman. “I think maybe we should have a skeet shooting contest.”
Tancredo formally declared he was in the presidential race on Monday.
After visiting the gun store, he was scheduled to visit a cigar shop.
