WITI-TV, AMES, IA --
Tommy Thompson dropped out of the race for the presidency in 2008 Sunday. He spoke with FOX 6's Ted Perry about his decision to drop out.

Thompson told Perry, "I'm outta the race."

He says, "my campaign was completely shocked. We absolutely thought we were coming in second . We had no doubt in our minds. The worst we thought we'd come in was third and it didn't happen that way. Something happened between the 50-yard line and the goal line. They pulled a reverse on us and we didn't see it coming."

Buh-bye, Tommy. Take all your chins with ya, bud.

1. Is that Tommy Thompson or Walter Matthau in that photo?

And have seemingly intelligent people voted this freak into high office in the past? How did that happen?

5. Walter is much better looking.

And, he's been dead for seven years.

[AlCzervik]

6. and even dead he'd do way better in the polls.

[stevedeshazer]

7. Good point

I'll bet Walter Matthau would have outpolled Tommy.

2. I can no longer say 'Tommy - the one

who comes in second in the candidates named Thompson poll'

3. Heeerrressss Tommy!

Tommy Thompson arrives for his new lobbying job with big pharma.

4. Come on did he really think he was going to come in second PLEASE!!!!!!

He never appealed to the voters

[Bluebear]

8. Maybe Mister Clairol #207B Strom Thurmond Dark auburn will be available again

You know, if "Tommy" isn't hoarding the supply.

14. Just so I'm on the record here

I never slept with Tommy Thompson. He's not my type.

[Garbo 2004]

9. I didn't realize he was still in the race. Oh well.

[Left Is Write]

10. I didn't even know he was in it.

[Nite Owl]

11. What gave them the idea that

he could place second? I doubt he would place second in Wisconson.

12. 867-5309...

Oh, wait, wrong guy.

13. WHO ?

:rofl:

Buh Bye tommy

[Goat or Panic]

15. One down

:)

[Disturbed]

16. Will that other Thompson guy now enter ?

I hope so because I liked to see him spend his money uselessly like all those other Rethug losers.

[TwilightGardener]

20. Maybe Fred could save some money for his troubled non-campaign

and snag some "Thompson '08" stickers 'n stuff from Tommy. Unless they say "Tommy" on them. Then he'd have to spend a lot of money on White-Out. Wouldn't be worth it.
