Reply #161: Russ Feingold '08!!!

[Larkspur]

No way will I ever vote for Kerry again. He's proven that he's unelectible. He needs to fade into history.

Why I'll support Feingold in '08
1) He was the lone vote against the Patriot act
2) He voted against Bush's tax cuts
3) He voted against the Iraq War Resolution
4) He's from the Midwest, a key area Dems need to capture
5) Unlike most senators, including my 2 dorks from CT, he consistantly has held "town hall" meetings with his constituents, and this gives him an edge, like governors have, with being confortrable with meeting with ordianry folks.
6) He won his last re-election in a landslide, while Kerry barely eked out a win.
7) Feingold, like Wellstone, publicly defends and promotes progressive values. He doesn't run from them, like Kerry did.

I see Feingold as a cross between Paul Wellstone and Howard Dean, and if Feingold tosses his hat in the ring, I wouldn't be surprised to see DFA get behind him.
