Senator Bob Corker Quote

The NY Times stated the following quote from Bob about the possibility of Thompson running:

"Seven weeks ago, I would have put it [Thompson Running for President] very low,” Senator Bob Corker said of the odds of a Thompson bid. "Four weeks ago,
when I talked on the phone to both he and his wife, I would have put it at
50-50. “Last Wednesday, I talked to them both again on the phone, and I have
to tell you I think he is very interested. I think he is at the 75- to 80-percent level at this point. I really do."
