Sparse Schedule for Thompson on Trail

[AnotherGreenWorld]

...

But once off the bus, Mr. Thompson has shown occasional signs of discomfort. In a speech here on Friday, he sweated profusely under the afternoon sun, breathed heavily and, while struggling over a question, asked no one in particular if his microphone was on. (It was.)

Some audience members, in a crowd that easily reached into the hundreds, winced as Mr. Thompson sweated through the question-and-answer session.

“I’m surprised they didn’t pull him out of there,” said John Chambers of nearby Punta Gorda, after the speech ended. Suzanne Miranda, who watched the event from a lawn chair, said, “I felt bad for him.”

3. That poor ol fart doesn't have the stamina for a campaign

If he doesn't drop out he'll keel over and croak at some rutabaga festival out in the hot sun.

I hope not. Actually I hope they nominate him but I don't think he's gonna make it.
