Yesterday a day after the Ames Straw Poll Former Heath and Human Services Secretary and Former Wisconsin Governor Tommy Thompson left the presidential race officially after a poor 6th place finish at Ames. He needs at least a 2nd place finish to stay in the race. Thompson declared Iowa a must-win state and polls showed him far behind. He visited every county and visited the state constantly. His polls didn't break 3% and his fundraising was even more poor. It appears there just wasn't enough room for 2 Thompsons in the race. Tommy Thompson stated he is returning to the private sector and hasn't endorsed any candidate as of now. Long time Bush team member who was there when it all started in 1994 is going to quit the Bush team and resign as Deputy Chief of Staff. Rove was stated to be "Bush's Brain" He hall be severly missed in President Bush's White House and among republicans. Rove left stating that if Hillary gets the nomination that his party shall hold on to the White House.
