Goodbye Tommy ThompsonAugust 13, 2007
After finishing in 6th place in an Iowa Straw Poll this weekend, former Wisconsin Governor Tommy Thompson has dropped out of the race for President.
A straw poll refers to any informal poll. The name comes from the old practice of holding up a piece of straw to determine which way the wind blows.
"I have no regrets about running," said Tommy Thompson, "I respect the decision of the voters."
"They came out and voted. I didn't do well. You play the game -- some people win, some people lose," Thompson added, "I happened to be on the losing end this time. I have no regrets."
"My campaign was completely shocked. We absolutely thought we were coming in second... Something happened between the 50-yard line and the goal line. They pulled a reverse on us and we didn't see it coming."
In light of Thompson's departure from the race, VoteForBreakfast.com has scrapped plans for an expose on the former Governor. Insiders reveal that the story dealt with Thompson's facial expressions and how it often looked like the former candidate was "farting" or making "farting noises" by trapping air between his cheeks and gums.
Mr. Thompson intends to return to the "private sector" where he was working as a senior partner in a law firm prior to his candidacy.
