49. Feingold is great
He had a lot more support among the public for his censure resolution of Bush than he had among his Democratic colleagues in the Senate.

And I've seen him in interviews on TV respond to bullshit questions by speaking truth to power.

And when he originally ran for the Senate the first time he promised not to take any money from corporate interests, and he stuck to that, barely winning his seat, by less than 1% I believe.

I think he'd make a very good candidate in 2008.
