...Mitt Romney in the White House [May 21]? I don't think this country could endure another teetotaler President. The charge that questioning Romney's religion amounts to bigotry misses the point that if he were elected, at least 10% of his income - which would come from us taxpayers - would go to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

In the latest TIME poll, he's at 10%, matching Mitt Romney. But Thompson is under no illusion that winning the White House would be easy, despite (or perhaps because of) his frequent acknowledgment that "certain doors have opened to me from time to time in my life...
