Breaking News: Tommy Thompson still running for President
In a move that shocked many observers of the race for the GOP nomination for President, Tommy Thompson said he views this weekend’s Ames Straw Poll as a make-or-break moment for his campaign. The move sent waves through the Beltway, as most were convinced that Thompson had long dropped out of the race.
“If you’re a SOTT (Supporter of Tommy Thompson), then this is probably the most important e-mail you have ever received from his campaign,” wrote Thompson’s national campaign manager Steve Grubbs in an e-mail to supporters. “Without your help and support this week, Tommy Thompson’s campaign cannot go on. Tommy Thompson has made it clear that if he doesn’t finish first or second this week in Ames, Iowa at the straw poll, he will not go on in this race.”
Many experts expressed disbelief that Thompson had lasted this long, especially after deciding to call his supporters “SOTTS.”

Tommy Thompson has a gay-friendly record, and his BadgerCare initiative has seen tens of thousands of low-income Wisconsinites get health insurance.
Why the hell he doesn’t talk about this stuff on the campaign trail, I can’t say.
But if you were going to pick a president other than a Democrat to occupy the White House, you lefties could do worse than Tommy.
And besides, is he really any more wooden or devoid of personality than Al Gore?
