1. I'm Still Holding Out Hope That Russ Will Run
If not, this makes no sense. wonder if he was threatened.

2. Maybe he found out how nice it is to live a normal life for a while.
He's spent the last 28 years in elected office. I don't think most of us can imagine how exhausting that is. I'm disappointed that he's not running, but he deserves a break. He's already given us so much of himself. He has every right to have kind of life you can't have as a politician.

3. I am also disappointed
I wish Senator Feingold well. Tommy Thompson is just another NEOCON rat turd.

4. Tommy's in for a rude awakening - he's gonna get smeared - no taboos now about

not reporting illicit sex and reporters keeping quiet about how he was cheating on Sue Ann. There's a lot of embarassing tapes that exist too from his failed presidential run.Almost feel sorry for the old goat. He thinks it's still 1994.

5. Compared to Lasee and Lesser Fitzgerald Tommy's the moderate
He may have a lot of baggage but he's less offensive than the other pukes that are running.
