After listening several times and noticing that there were political ads pro and con for Tammy and Tommy I decided to share ... so it gives you a different kind of perspective. It's been viewed over 1,300,000 times ...
I personally am a lot more comfortable with Tammy's record in public service than Tommy's. As I recall Tommy was in charge of getting the RNC Platform passed the year that George Bush became President. He is also given credit for introducing Pay-To-Play politics in Wisconsin and an early pusher of "ALEC" legislation.

High-profile Republicans from U.S. Rep. Rob Portman of Terrace Park to Sen. Bill Frist of Tennessee to longtime TV star Art Linkletter held forth for nearly eight hours Monday, testifying before an RNC platform committee panel headed by Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson on GOP plans to fix Social Security, improve Medicare and return control of children's education to parents. Advocates and opponents of abortion rights were left to protest on the outside of the school auditorium....
For 20 years, GOP presidential candidates have run on a party platform with a strong anti-abortion plank, one that calls for a constitutional amendment banning abortion and makes no exceptions in its opposition to abortion in cases of rape, incest and the health of the mother. (emphasis added)
