WASHINGTON -- These days, the only former president who really seems to be actively campaigning for candidates is Bill Clinton. But on Sunday, former President George H.W. Bush jumped back into the arena and endorsed Tommy Thompson in his bid for Wisconsin's open U.S. Senate seat.
"At this point in my life, I really try to avoid politics, especially around election time. But some people are truly exceptional -- Tommy Thompson is one of them -- and I feel the need to do what I can to help," wrote Bush in a fundraising email to Thompson supporters.
"Tommy Thompson has been my friend for almost thirty years," he wrote. "His [sic] was a spectacularly successful Governor of Wisconsin for fourteen years, and a great partner in many of my reform efforts as President. He was so popular and effective that my son, President George W. Bush, tapped Tommy to serve the Nation as the Secretary of Health and Human Services...and thankfully, Tommy answered his country's call."
