"the republicans did NOT win in 2010. Those who protested and sat on their hands and those that didn't realize they had to vote midterm caused democratic voters to not come to the polls in enough numbers to win"

...Wisconsin's Senator is Ron Johnson and its Governor is Scott Walker. Focus on that reality. I mean, it's not like you can claim the election was stolen or decided by the SCOTUS.

"BTW, is Russ going to get back in the arena, being that he whined and quit to form a lobby group. Why didn't he run last time?"

I'm trying to reconcile that statement with the title of your post: "The article itself headline is bias against democratic party"

The article headline mentions Walker and Feingold. EOTE Feb 2013 #6

Maybe you ProSense Feb 2013 #8

Well, ProSense Feb 2013 #15

Try to work out your issues without involving me. ProSense Feb 2013 #18

Totally clear she meant Walker and Johnson from reading the article. HERVEPA Feb 2013 #14

Spot on, HERVEPA.. except ProSense is Cha Feb 2013 #19

Doh! (thanks) HERVEPA Feb 2013 #31

I don't think he is interested in being Governor. iandhr Feb 2013 #35

Fuck that. Fuddnik Feb 2013 #50

He has to want to be President first. iandhr Feb 2013 #51

But if the party calls.. xmas74 Feb 2013 #56

Just as long as we have someone who will knock of Johnson in 2016 iandhr Feb 2013 #58

Walker is at 48% iandhr Feb 2013 #59

Discouraging that he only edges out Walker in the poll Still Sensible Feb 2013 #4

Yes, if I were advising him, I would say to run for senate. That seems a much surer thing. stevenleser Feb 2013 #22

Yup. Walker seems unbeatable, sadly. Drunken Irishman Feb 2013 #26

Remember 2014 is still a long way off. iandhr Feb 2013 #53

Anyone know if he's interested in running? City Lights Feb 2013 #5

Dear Russ Feingold, please get *A*L*L* of Labor to the table and by that I mean SEIU AND IWW too! nt patrice Feb 2013 #10

If Feingold wanted the governorship he could have run in the special election HereSince1628 Feb 2013 #20

Good News, ProSense.. I hope Wisconsin gets rid of BOTH of THEM.. Cha Feb 2013 #21

I hope it's Russ v. Walker Jeff In Milwaukee Feb 2013 #23

The article itself headline is bias against democratic party graham4anything Feb 2013 #24

Guess what ProSense Feb 2013 #25

I am on your side here. graham4anything Feb 2013 #27

The title ProSense Feb 2013 #28

He could have won last time. graham4anything Feb 2013 #29

He didn't run last time. ProSense Feb 2013 #30

Look at the results-Democratic voters came out in 2008 but at least 12% less in 2010. graham4anything Feb 2013 #32

What does that have to do with Feingold's decision to run in 2014 or 2016? n/t ProSense Feb 2013 #34

It means the voters need to come out to the polls and not be either lazy or protesting graham4anything Feb 2013 #38

You're conflating issues. ProSense Feb 2013 #39

I hope he runs and wins. graham4anything Feb 2013 #40

Well, ProSense Feb 2013 #41

You keep missing the point graham4anything Feb 2013 #43

Wait ProSense Feb 2013 #46

The point is good candidates leaving the arena to go into private not public biz graham4anything Feb 2013 #48

I think I would want him back in the Senate. iandhr Feb 2013 #33

He *could* make a comeback and if we VOTE in the midterms. If not, it's all for naught. Liberal_Stalwart71 Feb 2013 #36

Russ is a heck of a guy. Javaman Feb 2013 #37

Wonderful--but he's not going to run for governor. WI_DEM Feb 2013 #42

Do you think he might run for anything Cha Feb 2013 #49

When Feingold came back from the senate he said he wanted to do other things... HereSince1628 Feb 2013 #55

Russ! AzDar Feb 2013 #45
