Former Governor Tommy Thompson has neither confirmed nor denied a potential bid for the U.S. Senate race against U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wisconsin, but will announce his decision Thursday at a Tea Party rally in Madison.
""I'm going to make a decision tonight and so far I'm still tussling with it. I know I can win. There's no question in my mind I can win. That's not a factor,"" Thompson told NBC's WTMJ-TV.
""Do I want to serve for six years?"" he told WTMJ. ""My family does not support it. So I'm weighing all those decisions.""
A source close to Thompson told, according to WTMJ's Charles Benson, said that Thompson is leaning against a run.
According to the Milwaukee-based television station, Thompson will announce his intentions as to the potential Senate run at the Americans for Prosperity organized rally that is scheduled to take place at 11:30 a.m. on Thursday outside the capitol.
