isn't just some backwater post. I think Feingold knew that ousting Walker wasn't going to be a cakewalk and didn't want to become a political casualty to the Tea Party. I think the prestige of being the SOS would be too much for a person to just shrug his shoulders and say I think I'll stay in Marquette. Really? Seriously?
