"Former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson is dropping out of the race for the
Republican presidential nomination, a campaign official said Sunday. His
campaign released a statement saying the Republican is leaving the campaign
trail several hours after WITI-TV in Milwaukee reported that Thompson told one
of its reporters he was withdrawing. The campaign statement said Thompson
intends to take sometime off before returning to the private sector and his
nonprofit work. It said the 65-year-old says he's comforted by the fact that he
thinks he made a difference for people during his campaign."
And then there were eight - or nine, no eight the other Thompson isn't going to join the race. With Thompson out of the race, we no longer get to hear his great line, "I am Tommy Thompson, the governor no the actor". His chance were very low in winning the race, but I think that every candidate does make a difference through bringing ideas into the debates.
