Tommy Thompson, First Republican Campaign Casualty?
MSNBC just said he is making a major campaign announcement at 3pm ET. I'm thinking he is going to pull out. I dont know remember if another repub has pulled out of the race yet, so he may not possibly be the first. What do you guys think?

1. Yes, if he drops out then he'll be the first Republican to do so.

2. Maybe he just wants to let everyone know he has to have another bowel movement.

3. Maybe he is going to make another public statement about how vulnerable or food supply is
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A31377-2004Dec3.html

"I, for the life of me, cannot understand why the terrorists have not, you know, attacked our food supply because it is so easy to do,"

10. Republicans don't call them "bowel movements." They have another word for it.
Legislation

5. Maybe he'll be announcing happy hour prices at his brother's tavern
Tommy has nothing more important to talk about.

7. Perhaps he will be announcing he is running
hoping that no one will notice that he already announced and that he created virtually no ripple.
