Former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson is running for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008. He officially announced his candidacy today in an appearance on ABC’s “This Week.”
“Things are started to coalesce and I feel very, very optimistic about my future,” Thompson said. “I am the reliable conservative. My record shows that. All that people have to do is look at my record, and I am one individual that they can count on.”
This week’s show also featured an appearance by Senate Majority Whip Richard Durbin, D-Ill.
The guests at NBC’s “Meet the Press,” meanwhile included Senate Judiciary Committee Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., and panel member Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, discussing the future of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, and House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., talking about tax policy.
