I think he was just winnowed out to the oblivion where he certainly belongs.

Now all of the trash from Illinois and surrounding states come running to my community for a hand-out and we can't even afford the trash that we have! Don't get me wrong, some public aid is warranted, especially to those deserving, but Thompson took it way too far. I'm glad that he doesn't have a chance to ruin the country as he did his own home state. Thompson was an idiot that ruined the state of Wisconsin with his W2 program.

When 14,000 votes determine whether or not you run for president it just shows how uncommitted you are and how little faith you have in your own vision for this country. The exit polls for the last presidential election showed that Kerry was going to win but we saw how that turned out. He is not as bright as some would have us believe.

Unfortunately, he didn't have the ability to present himself well in the campaign. Tommy Thompson is a nice man and was a good governor and Cabinet Secretary.

I don't think that these candidates were well known outside their own region. I can see signs for Ron Paul here in NJ already. Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani, John McCain, and Fred Thompson are well known people because of large media coverage of them.
