Former Wisconsin Governor and Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy G Thompson will not "stick it to 'im" and challenge Russ Feingold for his Senate seat.
This announcement was hilariously made at a tax day Teabagger rally at the State Capitol in Madison.
The Democratic Party of Wisconsin had a great press release this morning, outlining the five questions Tommy won't want to answer at today's rally:
Secretary Thompson, Why Did You Support Health Care Reform?
Secretary Thompson, Why Did You Support The Stimulus?
Secretary Thompson, Why Did You Leave Wisconsin with A Structural Deficit We’re Still Dealing With Today?
Secretary Thompson, Why Were You a Tax and Spend Governor?
Secretary Thompson, Why Don’t You Tell Us Who You Really Work For?
The whole thing is here and worth a look.
Feingold isn't entirely safe, though. Buzz is still going around that beer heir Richard Leinenjugel, Wisconsin's Secretary of Commerce for the last 18 months, might run for the spot. And real estate developer Terrence Wall is already in.
In any case, keep on supporting Russ!
