He's one of the best Senators. The only Senator to vote against "The Patriot Act."

If you're in Wisconsin, please volunteer for him.

If you're not in Wisconsin, then please donate to his campaign.

1. This Particular Race Really Troubles Me, I'm Hoping This Is Johnson's Peak

Seven points is not insurmountable, but Russ really needs to get crackin'.

[kentuck]

2. And Wisconsin used to be such a progressive state...

where the conscience of America could be found.

[no_hypocrisy]

3. I dunno. Wisconsin gave us Joe McCarthy . . . . .

[kentuck]

7. And Bob LaFollette.

Overall, many more progressives.

[Xipe Totec]

8. And Michelle Bachmann n/t

[nebenaube]

9. She is in Minnesotta... n/t

13. You're rigth. Sorry!

[Brickbat]

4. Shades of Daschle.

Way to punch yourself in the face, Wisco.

5. Russ needs all the help he can get...

I can't imagine him losing even though I know it's possible :(

[Blue Owl]

6. Feingold should call the GOP/Tea Party out on their illegal vote caging

If the GOP has such a comfy lead, why are they so desperate to disenfranchise Wisconsin voters?

10. Please donate as much as you can so that he can stay on Tee Vee

What a shame...I don't even live in WI.

11. Russ Feingold

would make an excellent President, not to mention Senator - he's brilliant and fearless. He recently did a "cheddarbomb" which I think was pretty successful, but he's running against yet another millionaire with deep pockets. So we gotta help him out no matter where we live.

14. In the 1970s, Congress passed a law which limited how much anyone could donate...

...including self-donations.

Unfortunately, the Supreme Court ruled that self-donations are Free Speech & can't be limited.

12. WTF?

That's depressing. C'mon Wisconsin, don't lose this one. We need Russ!!

[BzaDem]

15. Actually, PPP/Daily Kos has him trailing by 11 points.

16. these are likely voter models

If democrats come out to vote, Russ will win. these polls are counting on democrats staying home.

[BzaDem]

23. Many Democrats will stay home, just like in 94, and just like Republicans stayed home in 82, etc.

This is not uncommon. The party in power is less enthusiastic. Likely voter models are historically very accurate.

[undeterred]

17. Johnson is an obnoxious piece of shit

and unfortunately there are plenty of people stupid enough to vote for him here in Wisconsin.

[devereaux]

18. Indeed there are...

As a geologist, my work takes me all over the state. There is a glut of Ron Johnson and Scott Walker signs across the state. Perhaps this is an hangover from the fact that there were reasonably high-profile Republican primaries across the state, while the Democratic candidates were largely decided already.

[undeterred]

20. I am so sick of his commercials all the time everywhere.

He has absolutely nothing to offer Wisconsin. Rich guy who made his money because he married the bosses daughter.

[underpants]

19. Many days to go.

we are picking up steam if you haven't noticed

[PeaceNikki]

22. Yes, but Russ needs help. Johnson has deep pockets and is trying to buy this seat.

While I remain confident he'll win, he needs help.

[PeaceNikki]

21. K&R

Please help Russ out, guys!!

[Eric J in MN]

24. Thanks for the kick. NT
