Tommy still full of himself

It's like the old high school chant:

"Everywhere I go ....
People want to know ...
If I'm running ...
So I tell them...

I'm Tommy Thompson
Mighty, mighty Thompson
Tommy! Tommy!
Thompson! Thompson!
You'd vote for me.

Tommy the T, a legend in his own mind. What would be more fun? President? Governor? Senator? Apparently, he thinks any would be his for the asking. People apparently are begging him to run, if you believe what he tells Katherine Skiba in the Journal Sentinel. (I don't.)

“I always regretted that I never ran [for president],” Tommy said. I always regretted it, too. It would have provided him with a good taste of reality and maybe even a dose of humility. Lest we forget, the reason he didn't run is that people laughed at his early exploratory feelers, and it was clear he did not have any chance of being taken seriously -- except in Wisconsin, where the media still treat him like royalty. (Skiba doesn't even talk to anyone else, just lets Tommy talk, writes it all down and puts it in the paper. That's not journalism; it's stenography.)

Can you imagine anyone saying these words? "Please come back and run for governor. We need you back to right the ship of state.” Skiba can. I can't.

One conservative blogger says Don't run.. And another is less than enthralled as well.
