Thompson was the least nutty of the GOP candidates last night, so I guess that's good news for them. But the man's 2008 Presidential campaign was a disaster (google "Tommy Thompson jewish comments" and "Tommy Thompson gay worker bathroom" for a refresher) and he's pretty clearly past his prime. For a four-term Governor to only get about 1/3 of the vote in his own party's primary is not a sign of strength.

Should be a fun race.

Interesting. Given that Hovde isn't from Green Bay, I suspect his strength there has something to do with the media market. Anyone else have a theory?
