Feingold to Adlai Stevenson. Two great men that will never go all the way?

1. A very interesting and apt comparison.....I do see a difference...in 1952 |

Stevenson represented the mainstream of the Democratic party which was pretty liberal for its time. Today, Feingold is considered a leftist, progressive Democrat in a party that is MUCH more conservative than it was 20 years ago.
My party, the same one I've loved since I came of age in 1972, has been neutered and its about time I admitted it.
I think you're right-the two men share a lot in common. But the times are different and Feingold will have a harder time of it than Stevenson. I wish him only the best.

Democratic Party but the hawks were rearing their ugly head. Look at the problems JFK had with the military. It is a different time and Feingold does not represent the climate of the country.
