Want to grantee WI is a blue state in NOV.

[Dying Eagle]

In WI we have a VERY popular senator by the name of Russ Feingold. He is becoming a All-Star Democrat and I see him running for President someday. Why not consider him as a running mate. That would grantee WI being a blue state in Nov. Plus Russ is the most honest and straight forward politicians i have ever seen. He is a gem for WI, but I would let him go for the higher cause.

Wisconsin Poll numbers March 26, 2004

Kerry: 46%
Bush: 43%
Nader: 4%

[skooooo]

1. Which way did WI go in 2000??

Dem or rep?

[DeaconBlues]

3. Dem

but it was a nail-biter (very close)

[NewYorkerfromMass]

8. only because of Nader

disregard the polls. Kerry will win WI without any special help.

[Dying Eagle]

2. we went dem

It was close

Wisconsin - Bush 47.61% of votes; Gore 47.83%. Voter difference in Wisconsin = 5,708

4. We need Russ in the Senate

Wisconsin needs him too.

[Zynx]

5. I agree. We as Wisconsinites should not give him up.

6. He would be great as VP

and president as well. I hope he runs in '12 (hopefully Kerry will be running for reelection in '08. Fiengold is not only economically populist but understands the wishes of those in his state on issues like guns. He's a civil libertarian and showed a lot of political courage by being the only member to vote against the PATRIOT Act.

7. We all love Feingold, but that's because he is EXTREMELY liberal

therefore I don't see how anyone who likes him could even consider voting for Chimp-faced Chimp-brained squatter in the White House, so I don't see the advantage. Besides, we need him in the Senate.

[Bombtrack]

9. He's running for re-election and he's not safe.

Favored, but not safe.

[DaveSZ]

10. He's about the only Senator who believes in the Constitution

Pretty sad.

[TheMightyFavog]

11. Right....

I think Darrow's gonna be the one running against him, he's loaded,(he owns a huge chain of car dealerships across the state) and no doubt that the Repukes are gonna be shoveling cash his way. I can also see this race getting as nasty as the Chambliss/Cleland race form two years ago.

[progressiverealist]

13. could anyone be worse than that Nazi Mark Neumann?

remember, that sorry sumbitch nearly beat Russ. We can't take anything for granted.

I've already had one used car dealer wreck my baseball team, I don't need another one to wreck the senate:)

[TheMightyFavog]

15. Besides...

The most honest politician in Congress running against a Car slaesman.

It should be an easy choice.

[Zynx]

17. Russ Darrow? You gotta be kidding me.

Just because he has money doesn't mean he's a threat. I scoff at him.

[Dying Eagle]

12. Russ will be fine

Did you see the list of Repukes running against him, LOL. Russ will kick their collective asses.

[ButterflyBlood]

14. As I understand your election law though

it's not like most states, where a vacancy is appointed by the governor. So if Feingold runs for both offices and wins, another election must be called, which would be a virtual tossup. And if he doesn't run, it's the same thing. We need him in the Senate.

[TheMightyFavog]

16. Not if they do to him what they did to Cleland in 2002.

I can see the negative Ads with Feingold's face up next ot bin Laden's.

It's going to be a very dirty campaign.
