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.
