This is change you can believe in. Just two years ago, Tom Tancredo was a veritable outcast of the Republican Party. Karl Rove was screaming at him, John McCain scoffed at him, GOP pollsters viewed him as a saboteur within their midst.

Remember way back in October of 2009 — it feels like a million years ago to me — when Sarah Palin shocked the establishment by endorsing, on her facebook page, conservative Doug Hoffman over the GOP-chosen candidate Dede Scozzafava in the race to replace Rep. John McHugh? President Obama had picked McHugh, a Republican, to serve as …
