Tommy Thompson Loves the 90's

Tommy Thompson Loves the 90's:
Tommy Thompson served as governor of Wisconsin throughout the 1990s. Sometimes, his Senate campaign does too good a job reminding voters that it's been a while since the Republican has been in office.

Thompson's campaign touted seven endorsements in a release on Wednesday morning. All of them are from other former governors. All also began their governorships in the 1990s.

The list includes names like John Engler of Michigan, Tom Ridge of Pennsylvania, Mike Leavitt of Utah, and Bill Graves of Kansas.

Several of the endorsements come from figures who also served in the Bush or Reagan administrations and the connections will grant Thompson access to a wider financial pool, which should boost his fundraising.

Thompson also sought to use the new round of support to brandish his history of fighting for Wisconsin rights against the federal government.
