What did appear to bother him, at least initially, was the crush of media that surrounded him - his handlers kept barking at the press to stop asking questions. And Thompson took 30 minutes to collect himself in private after his first hour at the fair. He was visibly relieved when he met up with Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley, a Republican who has yet to endorse a candidate and later showed him around the fair...
