Tommy Thompson, Former Wisconsin governor
No aspirant has faced as much hostility and skepticism about his candidacy from his home state press corps than the former governor of Wisconsin. From his leaden joke about George W. Bush as a theoretical UN ambassador to his stiff clowning about homonymic Fred Thompson, to just about everything else that came out of his mouth, he provided plenty of fodder for the Badger ridicule to continue apace. Finally received the health care question he was waiting for and did exactly nothing with it.
