| 23. I've heard of Feingold, but don't know that much about him. |
|
Why do you think he would be an effective candidate against the Republicans? Why isn't he vocally fighting their agenda now (cuts for the poor, bloated military budget, etc.)? Is he out there talking about these things, and I'm just not seeing it? (I live in Utah, so maybe the media just isn't reaching here? What plan could address this problem?)
