Thompson's Got More Than Money Problems

It's been noted that Tommy Thompson has been absent from the campaign trail and is hardly running any ads. Pundits have put this on the fact that Thompson's campaign doesn't have a lot of cash left after a grueling primary. In fact, Scott Walker and Mark Neumann have both sent out email blasts in an effort to raise funds for him. And in the near future, Paul Ryan will be making one of his rare public appearances to help raise funds for Thompson's campaign. Betcha it ain't gonna be anywhere near the $2.8 million he raised to bolster the ticket he's dragging down, like Romney really need any help doing that.

But Thompson is going to need more help than just money.

Reminiscent of the Great Twit-Off between Walker and Neumann, Thompson has taken to desperation and is begging people to like his Facebook page:

Thompson is currently sitting at 19,578 "likes." If you subtract reporters and lefty bloggers looking for fodder, that number would probably drop to about 17,500. And if you take out paid Koch/ALEC employees and campaign staff, he might, just might, still be in double digits.

This is not surprising, since we know that he started out unpopular and has been losing ground ever since, as it becomes more obvious that he is not really interested in being the people's senator.

And for what it's worth, Tammy Baldwin is currently at 27,626, showing she is far above Thompson in more ways than one.
