Thompson Says He Must Win Straw Poll
In an interview that will air this weekend on C-SPAN, Tommy Thompson said the Ames straw poll in Iowa is "very much a must win" for his presidential campaign.
Said Thompson: "I’ve been in Iowa more often than any other candidate on either side of the aisle. I have not missed being there since the first week in December. I’ve been in 52 counties now out of 99 and will be in all 99 before August 11. And I think that’s what you have to do."
Sen. John McCain and Rudy Giuliani have both said they will not compete in the Republican straw poll.
----------------
We can help him with his decision by calling the Iowa voters and telling them about Dr. Paul. Jason Stoddard of the Austin MeetUp group (and former Ron Paul Congressional intern) is training people to make calls to Iowa registered voters (1.6 million). They are starting with the 2006 Iowan Republican delegates list. Initial evaluation is that almost no one called had heard of Dr. Paul or was familiar with his views (and these are politically aware people) but that a good number are not only receptive but very supportive when they learn about him!
