Thompson Says "Others" Trying to Derail His Campaign
COUNCIL BLUFFS, IOWA -- Saying the stories about him dropping out of the campaign are "made up out of whole cloth," Thompson again denied that a poor showing in tonight's Iowa caucus means the end of his campaign.
"Designed to try to suppress my vote as best they can," is how he described the stories.
"They see the freight train coming and they're just trying to dishonestly do something about it."
Thompson accused his rivals of perpetuating the uncertainty of his campaign to reduce his voter turnout.
"It doesn't come from us, it doesn't come from the McCain campaign," he said. "It comes from others." When pressed to identify who the "others" are, Thompson declined to comment.
