Anti-Medicare Tommy Jumps On Sinking Ship

Tommy Thompson's troubled vanity campaign for US Senate is now a referendum on killing Medicare.

With large numbers of senior and low-income voters in Wisconsin, you might as well campaign statewide here  side-by-side with replacement NFL refs. Wearing Chicago Bears caps.

Tommy is on video tape saying he's the guy to "do away with" both Medicare and Medicaid, and on the eve of his first debate Friday with Democratic opponent and pro-Medicare candidate Tammy Baldwin, The Washington Post is leading its online page today with a story showing Paul Ryan's plan to tamper with Medicare is dragging Romney down in swing states Virginia, Florida and Ohio.

Bad timing for Tommy as the "who better than me" video becomes his own "47%" albatross.
