Wisconsin Libertarian Party Chair Ed Thompson (brother of HHS Secy. and former Gov. Tommy Thompson) this morning praised Sen. Russ Feingold (D) for his opposition to the Patriot Act etc. on Madison's "Sly in the Morning" radio show. Asked by the host if this was an endorsement, Ed said "as Party Chair it would not be proper to endorse as such."
Thompson garnered over 10% of the vote for Governor in 2002, gaining the LP official Major Party status.
