F ormer Wisconsin governor Tommy Thompson announced yesterday that he is running for the Republican presidential nomination and is betting that he will do well in Iowa, the neighboring state where he has been campaigning for months.

Speaking on ABC's This Week, Thompson said he is confident he will win in January's Iowa caucus, despite polling in the low single digits.

"I've been in Iowa every single week since the first week in December," he told host George Stephanopoulos. "I've been visiting individuals and groups and talking to people every single week, and I've been into over 30 counties, one-third of the counties, and over 100 communities, and it's really looking good."

Thompson served as secretary of health and human services under President Bush after four terms as governor. But he said that his presidency would differ "tremendously" from Bush's.

Thompson said he would have a "completely different" strategy in Iraq, promising to remove all U.S. troops if Iraq requests it.

Hehehe

[Petronski]

His campaign is really starting to congeal.

[RockinRight]

Don’t do that, a$$wipe! Who cares about Tommy? I’m waiting for Fred!

[jpl]

One word: lightweight.

[Pox]

This was cute yesterday, pretty lame today.

[chilepepper]

Tommy Thompson is *sooo* dumb he actually thinks he has support!

[Petronski]

[ShandaLear]

That’s not nice. LOL!

[Petronski]

He's quite phlegm buoyant

His expectorations are high.

[golfisnr1]

Debbie Schlussel says he’s an idiot. One of the few cabinet appointees George Bush regretted. http://www.debbieschlussel.com/archives/2007/04/most_buffoonish.html#comments Another was Paul O’Neill (Treasury)

[eddie willers]

Pooh on you!

I almost broke my clicking finger to read about FRED!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Yawn.

[Larry Lucido]

Wrong Thompson.

[Vinnie]

Thanks, pissant!! grrrr

Gimme an F, gimme an R, ......

[longtermmemmory]

sneaky,

how many times must we suffer such bait and switch? It must be very annoying to Tommy Thompson to realize people are going “oh, wrong one...”

[gridlock]

Tommy Thompson will get boffo numbers until people figure out he's not Fred.

Heck, these two could probably pull down 25% in the next straw poll, based on voter confusion...

[blake6900]

Former Wisconsin governor Tommy Thompson announced yesterday that he is running for the Republican presidential nomination...

zzzzzzzzzzz...

[Theresawithanh]

Aaaaaargh! Ya got me! I clicked on this post with bated breath, only to find it was the “other” Thompson!

[ImProudToBeAnAmerican]

One thing I can assure you - Tommy Thompson is NOT the father of Anna Nicole’s child.

[3_wheeler]

Tommy Thompson is a former governor and governors tend to win Presidential elections. Four out of the last five former governors who went on to get elected President were Carter, Reagan, Clinton & Bush 43. Governor Thompson may be our only hope to retain the White House next year.

All together now (in unison with the rest of the world).

Tommy who??

[NeoCaveman]

His quite phlegm buoyant

I had heard that about him....

Bad pissant, bad!
{rolls up newspaper}

;-)

Good practice for when Fred finally DOES announce, I guess.

[RatsDawg]

“Thompson said he would have a “completely different” strategy in Iraq, promising to remove all U.S. troops if Iraq requests it.”

Uh....hasn’t Bush said almost these exact same words?

[ImProudToBeAnAmerican]

Errrrrrr - Carter, Reagan, Clinton and Bush 43...NONE were from Wisconsin. (Sorry cheeseheads...)

Wait - Feingold is from Wisconsin. Yea - you suck.

Jim McMahon for president!! Cha!

[OpenBar]

Thompson Says He's In! He's "in" as much as Nixon is "in."

Is anybody a duller candidate??

Let's spice things up. I'd like to see Danny Bonaduce run. His "creds" are impressive; He just announced that Rosie O'Lesbo ought to hung for treason.

[pissant]

Her head would pop off.

[sgtbono2002]

Wrong Thompson.

[bluecollarman]

It’s not nice to fool Fred heads.

[SnarlinCubBear]

I fell for it. I saw the headline, my heart went pitty-pat, then, “oh, it’s Tommy.” Crap!

[Vinnie]

If we are pinning our hopes on Tommy Thompson we might as well go buy a donkey.

He may be competent but charisma? I don’t think sooo.

I’ve heard him speak. Lightweight overstates his gravitas.

[Birdlady]

Bummer...had Fred in mind!

[OpenBar]

"Her head would pop off."

Sweet.

I'd take it and try practicing hitting threes with it.

[Suzy Quzy]

Tommy Thompson!! HAHAHHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHH!!

[Suzy Quzy]

Another one is Gonzalez!! Bush’s FINEST appt. was Dick Cheney!

[Suzy Quzy]

BORING!!!!!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

You are evil!

[pissant]

:o)

G’night all.

[WestVirginiaRebel]

You and I don't often agree but that's funny. Mean, but funny.
