Tommy Thompson has dropped out of the presidential race.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Saying he had no regrets, former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson on Sunday dropped out of the crowded race for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination after a poor showing in a straw poll in Iowa.
Thompson, 65, finished sixth in Saturday’s nonbinding mock election. He had said he needed to finish in the top two to continue his campaign.
“I have no regrets about running. I felt my record as governor of Wisconsin and Secretary of Health and Human Services gave me the experience I needed to serve as president, but I respect the decision of the voters,” Thompson said in a statement.
“I am leaving the campaign trail today.”
One down and how many more tens to go?
