BY STEPHANIE SIMON
DENVERSix months ago, former GOP Rep. Tom Tancredo was cheered at the National Tea Party Convention. On Monday, he announced a third-party run for governor of Coloradoand many in the state's tea-party movement responded with disdain.
Although Mr. Tancredo's support for sealing the U.S. border against illegal immigrants, slashing government spending and taking on the Republican Party's elite have resonated with tea-party activists, his decision to run for governor as the candidate of the tiny American Constitution Party set many of his former fans fuming.
