Republicans "went right for the jugular" when they chose this state as the place to demonize public employees, destroy the right to vote and abuse the budget process that will continue this week, former U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold told supporters Sunday evening near the Capitol Square.

"Why are we in a place called Walkerville today?" he asked the energized crowd at the corner of State and West Mifflin streets, amid the tent village that sprang up earlier this month to protest the state budget bill and will remain through June 20 while lawmakers debate the bill. "Because we will not stop until we win."

Feingold, who lost his seat in November to Oshkosh businessman Ron Johnson, outlined necessary actions for the near future: taking back the majority in the state Senate and Assembly, and - drawing big applause - defeating Gov. Scott Walker, who he called a tool of the Republican party.

During the speech, chants of "run, Russ, run," could be heard, but Feingold didn't mention his own political future.

5. I'd sure like to see Russ back in the Senate, in Herb Kohl's seat, and Jon...

...Jon Erbenbach as Governor.


Oh yeah, and Rob Zerban in the House filling what is now Paul Ryan's seat.


Let's toss Senselessbrenner while we're at it.

8. I think if Feingold runs for anything he will run for governor.

Senate: been there, done that. He would be 1 of 100 senators as he was before, but in Wisconsin he would be our only governor and he could immediately impact millions of lives right here in this state. It may be that he is looking for something new to conquer.

9. You mean Feingold, right?
