Vintage Tommy at RNC

September 3, 2008 By WRN Contributor

It was “vintage” Tommy Thompson at the Republican National Convention in the Twin Cities Wednesday. The former governor, GOP presidential hopeful and Bush administration cabinet member had a “party hearty” message for the Badger state delegation. “I want you drink the beer, stay out as late as you can tonight and tomorrow night, because on Friday I want you to sober up, go on home, and make this a Republican year.” Thompson, with a scar on his nose from recent skin cancer surgery, said he and other Republicans were feeling a bit down about the party's chances earlier, but that having Alaska Governor Sarah Palin on the ticket brings an excitement he believes will carry over to a win in November.
