2008, Thompson, South Carolina
From NBC's Abby Livingston
Oh, how the mud continues to fly in South Carolina. And Thompson is getting in on the action. Asked this morning on a radio show in West Columbia, S.C., about the Common Sense Issues push polls against him, he shrugged it off, but added, “I'm obviously familiar with the push poll concept. Same folks did that in Iowa, and you know, it seems to be coming from one direction, but I won't call any names, but Gov. Huckabee says he doesn't know anything about it. So....”
The audience then laughed, and Thompson responded with a mischevious grin.
“So, I guess we'll have to take his word for it,” he added.
Lee Atwater must be smiling down on his home state right about now.
