Des Moines – As Fred Thompson embarks on a three day trip across Iowa, the Iowa Democratic Party wanted to summarize the coverage he received after his visit to the Iowa Christian Alliance on Saturday night. Thompson refused to answer questions from reporters during his visit and those covering the event were, to put it mildly, a little mad.

Des Moines Register: “But the former Tennessee senator made no public statements and left without addressing more than a dozen news reporters who followed him to his car.”  http://desmoinesregister.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070930/NEWS09/709300337/-1/caucus

Radio Iowa: “His staff indicated Thompson would answer reporters' questions just outside the hall, so as not to interrupt the event… Outdoors, Thompson quickly climbed in a black SUV and someone drove him away.  No questions.  No answers.”  http://learfield.typepad.com/radioiowa/2007/09/fred-thompson-a.html
