Representing Wisconsin in the Senate has been the greatest honor of my life and together we accomplished many great things. No one has ever had such a strong foundation of support as I have. You gave me my backbone.

In the words of Bob Dylan: "But my heart is not weary. It's light and free. I've got nothing but affection for those who have sailed with me."

Forward!

Thank you,

5. What a loss.

I did not allow myself to imagine he would lose. I hope we see him on a ticket in the future.

8. Love it.

Maybe I'll get the book for my 12 year old. His favorite pastime is reading. He reads 1-2 novels a week! Sounds like one he'd enjoy.

BTW, I'll miss Russ.

9. Sounds like a good kid.

Make sure he gets all the books he wants.

12. LOL. Damn. We need to bring back McCain Feingold AND Feingold. n/t

7. I've never even been to Wisconsin...

but Senator Feingold's loss has profoundly affected me. I think it hit me that folks like me have no place in this Democratic party, which abandoned him with no regard. I feel so badly for folks in Wisconsin.

11. I don't have an bit of sympathy for WI

I feel badly for those of us in other states who he's helped. The people of Wisconsin had the power to re-elect him but they elected a right-wing stooge instead. Fuck Wisconsin.

Yeah, I'm bitter,

13. I totally get what you're saying!

I feel bad for those who voted and worked to get him re-elected. Those who didn't vote for him can bite my ass.

[malaise]

10. That was the most painful loss

on Tuesday night.

Russ Feingold is a good man.
