Strike up the Finegold 2012 bandwagon

Nothing says viable primary challenge for the White House more than a Democrat getting beaten for reelection in Wisconsin.

Another Senate seat bought and paid for by corporate America.

Absolutely, no joke, Feingold should run against Obama. Chances are Evan Bayh is going to take all the campaign money he didn't spend and do it. Why not have somebody decent?

Man I hope Bayh runs. He is a painfully boring person with absolutely no appeal to anyone save the DLC. I would love to see him ripped apart for what he did to us Indiana.

Not that I'm bitter.

i thought at first it was due to russ' sucky ad campaign. nope, that wouldn't have dug him out of this hole:

JOHN NICHOLS: And the only Democrat who voted against the bank reform bill, because he said it didn’t really do what needed to be done. So we have lost a pretty remarkable player.

And you ask yourself, how can that happen? Well, the fundamental reality is, in Wisconsin—I’m going to sum it up—in the night of the last US Senate debate, when Russ Feingold and his millionaire opponent were debating for an hour, the news story in Wisconsin was not the debate. It was that the last auto plant in Wisconsin closed that day, the Kenosha Chrysler engine plant. And so, they had this video of a factory closing. Now, it happened that Russ Feingold spent his entire career trying to keep that factory open, but that factory was closing on Barack Obama’s watch, on the Democrats’ watch. <...> because I think that the national narrative was, Obama gets elected, he’s supposed to stand up for workers and farmers, and he didn’t, so we’re going to switch. And it did happen in a lot of states.


obama had two years to draw a bright line and make a stand against outsourcing. he chose not to.
