I’m so glad he’s leaving, too much brand confusion with Fred — wouldn’t want him to be on the ballot in the primaries. I told my brother-in-law that Thompson left the race and waited a minute before I told him that it was Tommy Thompson. He was quite devastated in that minute (made me feel a little bad 🙂

Former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy G. Thompson said yesterday that he is dropping out of the race for the Republican presidential nomination after finishing sixth in an Iowa straw poll.
