Russ Feingold on TPMCafe

I see Russ Feingold will be guest-blogging at TPMCafe's Table for One starting Monday, Dec 12th. (http://www.tpmcafe.com/section/tableforone) Very cool....

I admit I don't know a tremendous amount about Senator Feingold but what I do know I like....

I wonder if he will respond to comments like Wes Clark did....

In any event, should be interesting to see what he blogs.

:D If Kerry doesn't run again I will probably support Feingold.

I'm a BIG Feingold fan, and he's definitely go my support if he throws his hat in the ring in 2008! Straightforward, articulate, and incredibly charming!

I remember about a hundred-odd years ago (or it seems like it was), Russ nailed a list of promises to voters on his garage door in Middleton. When he did this, I, being the cynical type, thought "Well, that's a good gimmick, but I don't *really* believe him." I was proved wrong. Russ really does believe what he says, and he follows through on his beliefs.

The other thing to know about Russ is that he has a WICKED sense of humor -- ESPECIALLY when campaigning. I haven't seen many other politicians use humor in a campaign as effectively as Feingold. Anyone else remember his 'bigfoot' ad? (where Bigfoot crossed behind him during a commercial?) Or his famous 'Elvis' ad? I don't think I'd ever laughed out loud at a campaign commercial before I saw some of his.

The only thing is: I'd be damned sad to lose him as a Senator.

I think he would have been a helluva lot better Guv than Doyle.

BTW, as long as we're on Cheesehead politics, I'm pretty pissed at Kathleen Falk for her primary run against Peg Lautenschlager. I think the Doyle people put her up to this. Any thoughts? (I may also post this question on the Cheesehead forum.)
