| | James R. Thompson - definition of James R. Thompson in Encyclopedia |
 | | James Robert Thompson (born May 8, 1936), also known as "Big Jim Thompson", was the longest-serving Governor of the U.S. state of Illinois. | | | Thompson, along with his gubernatorial successor Jim Edgar and state treasurer Judy Baar Topinka, are frequently criticized by the far-right voter base of the Illinois Republican Party for being too "moderate" or "liberal." These activists believe that the still-popular figures attempt to ape Democrats and are responsible for the party's recent statewide decline. | | | Thompson was reelcted in 1978 with 60 percent of the vote, defeating State Superintendent Michael Bakalis. |
