Thompson Drops From Race

Apparently Tommy Thompson felt like he'd been hit by a Mack truck when he learned of his 6th place finish in the Iowa Republican straw poll. Here's the really hilarious part...he was hoping for a top two finish! It amazes me when super long shots like Thompson enter a presidential race with such high hopes, particularly when the person's last job was a cabinet post (Secretary of Health and Human Services) with one of the worst administrations in history. What's more, Thompson's Health Department has overseen a rapid rise in obesity, especially among children. His stint as secretary is representative of the failures of the entire administration! Hopefully the religious nuts will be the next to drop out.
