Take for instance the recent attacks former Democratic senator Russ Feingold is currently experiencing – even though he hasn’t publicly made any statements regarding his possible desire to return to Wisconsin to run for the Senate seat he lost to Republican Ron Johnson:

Russ Feingold has yet to say a word, publicly, about the possibility of a rematch with U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis. But Republicans aren’t wasting any time in launching attacks against the Democratic former senator.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee sent a press release on Tuesday calling attention to Feingold’s role in passing the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, enacted six years ago today.

“With Russ Feingold plotting his return to power, it’s worth remembering that when he voted for the failed $830 billion stimulus he claimed spending programs would balance our budget.” (Source)

1. I live in Wisconsin.

I would rather have him be our governor.

We will gladly give up Scott Walker to the rest of the country if they want him.

2. I've never been at 100% agreement with Russ Feingold

but the percentage is a damn sight higher than with Hillary Clinton.

3. Let him enter the presidential primaries.

THEN you'd see some shit-losin', yes indeedy.

4. Losing their minds... how can you tell?

I'd happily support Russ for any office he cares to run for.

5. Dear Russ,

Forget Wisconsin. Run for President.
