Feingold in '08.

[coloradodem2005]

How does that sound to you?

[LibInternationalist]

1. I think ANY Democrat

will win the states that Kerry won this time -- can Feingold add 20 EVs?

2. I love Feingold, but no more senators please

We need to run governors for a while. Senators have too complex a voting record for most people to understand. The last sitting Senator to win was JFK.

Who do we have in the governor's pool?

6. Mark Warner

seems like the best gubernatorial prospect

[MidwestTransplant]

15. Yup

Watch for the Republicans to go after him soon.

16. Just like they killed Davis

though Davis wasn't great from a liberal's point of view (like mine), he was a right-leaning centrist Democrat who could have been a threat.

Good luck Wagner!

20. Grey Davis was my least favorite Democrat (besides Zell)

So I didn't really mourn his loss!

3. Like a 60% to 40% win for the repukes. n/t

4. I like him, but doubt he will do it

and furthermore doubt he has what it takes to win the general election. He is too principled.

[RevCheesehead]

12. I dunno, WI-DEM,...

I read an article that stated "as a child, Russ knew he wanted to grow up and be President some day." Hopefully, you're right.

I think he's fantastic, but I don't want to lose him. His service in the senate reminds me of Proxmire, and reflects the sensibilities of most of us.

I'd like to see him move up in the Senate ranks.

5. I say let's put him

in as VP. That way he gets those eight years, and then the following eight, as well!

HOWEVER!!! I don't want to give him up as my Senator!!!

[4_Legs_Good]

17. I could certainly get behind him as VP

That would give him a little distance from the Senate if he wants to run later.

No more sitting senators.

7. HE ROCKS!!!

Although he might want McCain as a VP! They do so much good work together.

[ewagner]

8. Actually I'm not in favor of it

I like Russ right where he is.

However, as very wise DUer pointed out yesterday, the Feingold Model is an excellent base for an aspiring Dem presidential candidate.

9. I'd hate to lose him as a Senator

But he would be wonderful. But just as the country wouldn't go for a women or a black I don't see them voting for someone who's jewish. I wish I was wrong but I don't think I am.

[Emboldened Chimp]

10. No more Senators....

We need a governor. Unfortunately, the pickin's are slim...

[Doomsayer13]

11. Great senator

but we will not win with a liberal maverick from a blue state.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

13. I agree. That or move Wisconsin up in the primary schedule

I think having an independent state vote early would be good.

[elperromagico]

14. It sounds to me like: Let's focus on '06 right now.

:D

18. Obama Veep?

Not to sound racist, but don't you think the far-red areas of the US would find a black VP more acceptable than a black Pres?

That would give him some time as building up his resume . . .

19. I agree we need a governor
