i actually think feingold is more like howard dean than kucinich. Its more likely he'll get 35%/40% in the dem primaries, and something like 50-62% in a general election, its no so bad Rice could be running.

peter, i actually think feingold is more like howard dean than kucinich. he will probably get more like 15-25% in the dem primaries, and something like 45-48% in a general election, so not as bad as you might think.

Russ does a great job of continueing the heritage of Sen. Bill Proxmire and fills the liberal void left by the departure of Rep. Dennis Kucinich from the national scene. That should give him about 9% of the Democratic Party's vote and 3% in the general election.

Unfortunately he comes up a tad short of winning either the nomination or the general election. He will, however, win the contest of "sending them a message".

Senator Feingold has again demonstrated his ability to address real issues by offering real solutions. He tells us - We can be secure by focusing on the real enemies of the American way of life. And that - We can have more jobs for everyone by making sure we consider people in our search for bigger corporates profits. These are real solutions for a more secure America and more success for all Americans.

Senator Feingold has an ability to lead from intelligent strength. This is the real Progressive vision for America and the world.
