Why Does Tommy Thompson, who was an outstanding governor, continue diminishing himself with this absurd charade?

He has nothing distinctive to offer. He ISN’T going to be the nominee. Seriously, what is motivating guys like Thompson to stick around? He doesn’t strike me as the type of guy who’s just on an ego trip like Ron Paul. Nor does he doesn’t have a burning issue he cares about like Tom Tancredo. What the hell is his deal? Same with Sam Brownback, Jim Gilmore, and Mike Huckabee.

On the other hand, I suppose he doesn’t have much else to do....

Both the Romney, and Guiliani campaigns said that CNN scheduled the date without consulting any candidate, and since it is at the very end of the financial quarter all campaigns have multiple pre-planned fundraisers on this date. Both said they would consider joining if the date was changed (although I wish they would tell CNN to stick it).
