Speaking on “UpFront with Mike Gousha” on Sunday, former Wisconsin governor (and windbag extraordinaire) Tommy Thompson said he’s not ruling out another run for elected office in Wisconsin:
Former Wisconsin Governor Tommy Thompson (left) says he’s still weighing his political options and hasn’t ruled out a possible run for governor or U.S. Senate.
“I’ve always said I’ve got one more good campaign in me, whether it be for the United States Senate, whether it be for governor or mayor of Elroy,” Thompson said on Sunday’s “UpFront with Mike Gousha.”
“I would still like to run … one more time.”
Thompson said he’s “very concerned” about the direction of federal and state government and feels he could be helpful “in either one of those arenas.”
“I haven’t decided truly that I’m going to run, but I haven’t said no,” Thompson said.
Here’s my unvarnished personal opinion: Tommy Thompson is like a rash that just won’t go away, and it’s time for someone to put some ointment on his aspirations of “just one more run.”
If you’re inclined, go watch the video of Tommy making the case as to why he’s got one more good run left in him.
The Sconz has his own take.
I do believe that Mr. Walker soiled himself a bit at the airing of that. *he, he, he*
I don’t know if Walker soiled himself, but if I were him, I’d be more than a little concerned about the possibility of Thompson jumping into the Republican gubernatorial race.
