No, not that Thompson (http://race42008.com/2007/07/03/breaking-thompsons-q2-numbers-are-in/) ;)
GOP presidential candidate Tommy Thompson raised just under a half-million dollars in the second quarter of the year, showing an uptick from the first quarter but well behind the party’s front-runners.
Thompson, a former Wisconsin governor and U.S. Health and Human Services secretary, announced Tuesday he had raised $473,000 from April to June - including a $25,000 loan from the candidate.
In the first quarter, Thompson raised $391,000, which included $75,000 in loans from Thompson.
“We are certainly pleased at the strong growth in our fundraising,” Thompson said in a statement. “We’ve kept our overhead low and maintained a disciplined budget. To date, we’re able to run a campaign equal to that of the better-funded candidates despite the differences in funding.”
