Former Gov. Tommy Thompson stated bluntly Thursday that after his heated Republican primary in the Wisconsin Senate race, his campaign was broke.
“For 28 days after the primary we were out of money,” Thompson told Milwaukee conservative talk-radio host Charlie Sykes, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. He then noted that his Democratic opponent, Rep. Tammy Baldwin, was able to use the time after the mid-August primary to attack him, “and she has done a pretty job of it.”
The PollTracker Average currently shows Baldwin leading, 50.8 percent to 41.2 percent. Thompson had previously led Baldwin throughout the race, until Baldwin surged ahead in mid-September.
