Tom Tancredo appears to be a gambling man.
Prior to Game One of the World Series last night, Tancredo issued a challenge to former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney over the outcome of the fall classic.
If Tancredo’s Colorado Rockies beat Romney’s Boston Red Sox, then under the terms of the bet, Romney would have to bow out of the presidential race. If Romney’s Sox win, Tancredo would subsequently concede his candidacy.
But Romney didn’t take the bait, and reportedly rejected the proposal. A report in the Rocky Mountain Times today said Romney’s campaign said the former governor was “in the race to win the race.”
The ironic thing? Romney would have had an early lead after the Rockies were drubbed by the Sox, 13-1, in the first game.
This is the second time Tancredo has tried to challenge Romney with the golden egg of any potential bet being that the loser drop out of the presidental race. The first time came a week ago, according to a press release from the Tancredo campaign, which stated Tancredo tried to challenge Romney to a trap-shooting competition. Romney didn’t take him up on that one either.
