1. Tommy Thompson?

If this was the reason he didn't challenge Governor Doyle or Senator Kohl, then that's great, but seriously...what constituency does he appeal to?

[Disturbed]

2. The more Assclowns, the more fun.

McLame, Rudy G., Duncan Hunter, so far. Possibly- Newt, Romney and Hagel. :popcorn:

4. As a Wisconsinite, this particular announcement

made my skin crawl. You think * is dumb. This guy could give him lessons. You think * and Dickie Boy are corrupt, this guy is right with them, though not on as grand a scale. He is a PUKE of the highest order.:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

5. So McCain and Guiliani have had multiple wives - Tommy has had

multiple girlfriends. Well known among the politically literate in Wisconsin - sure to come out eventually. His wife is a staunch Catholic, and they apparently remain friends. However they have had separate residences several times during his career - don't know about now. He has the Wisconsin Media cowed on this subject, but I suspect this is one reason he was not tapped for VP -- even though he was gunning for it.

So why his bid --- he is starved for attention.
