Thanks to Senator Kohl for his long service to his state, and may we re-elect Senator Feingold!

1. I'd be surprised if that happened.
I think Feingold is into doing something for America that is much more important than a 6 year commitment to the US Senate.

But hey, I don't mind being surprised when it doesn't involve a bite in the ASS.

6. National attention to his roadmap to hell has made him into a joke.
I think that will stick for a long time. I think he might even lose his congressional seat.
