If the primary was today, who would you vote for, Kerry or Feingold?

[Imagevision]

just between Kerry or Feingold only please.

[LSparkle]

1. Feingold -- because he will FIGHT for us

Sorry, JFK2, but you should have contested Ohio.

[Imagevision]

11. Kerry told msnbc he thinks Bin Laden tape is what "did him in"

how pathetic is that, like election fraud was the figment of imagination of countless millions around the world.

[rockymountaindem]

55. I've yet to see anybody show me how

Kerry could have mounted a legit challenge to the Ohio results that would have stood up in Ohio and Federal courts and have been anything other than a giant waste of money and time.

That said, I'd vote Kerry.

107. Has Feingold moved on the machine fraud issue? Did he know about it in

2004? Is he working on it now? From what I have heard, Kerry has spoken about the machines to other senators and has gotten no interest.

[postulater]

2. Feingold, without a doubt

6. Feingold, for me....

Kerry may be coming around now but I need someone willing to fight and say what needs to be said, even when it's not the popular thing. He needs to stay where he is right now and continue the work he's doing and allow those full of fire, concern and fearlessness to pull this country back together, to help us remember what we as a country stand for.

[blm]

108. How long have you followed government?

There isn't a lawmaker alive who has taken on more unpopular stands than John Kerry has, or effected this nation's REAL history more positively than John Kerry has.

You are welcome to try and name someone. I like Feingold fine for what he HAS done - but NO ONE has spearheaded tougher issues in the senate than Kerry has and I will not allow anyone to get away with saying something that distorts Kerry's record.

[karynnj]

7. Kerry in a nono second

though I like Feingold too. I realize on this board Kerry would likely do no better than he did in the 2004 pre-primaries where he lost here regularly to Dean, Kuchinich, Clark, and Edwards.

then Feingold

[NMDemDist2]

13. hmmmmm

today huh?

geeez


Feingold I guess :shrug: but only cuz he's a new face. this is off the cuff though, if I had to vote today I'd be doing some serious research on Russ.

Kerry is a great guy and I wouldn't hesitate to vote for him again should I get the chance

14. Feingold!

I love Russ Feingold, but being real here, I dont believe he could win a national election.

25. probably Kerry

[fujiyama]

110. Interesting

being that you're from WI, any particular reason?

Not that there's anything wrong with Kerry. I like them both.

[LittleClarkie]

26. Though I love my Junior Senator, my vote is with Kerry

But I do wish we'd concentrate on 2006.

[DemGirl7]

27. Feingold....no doubt about it

I love Russ :loveya:

[tenshi816]

28. Feingold, without a doubt.

I get the impression he's a scrappy sort of guy and I don't think he'd ignore election "irregularities".

[Donald Ian Rankin]

36. No, but he wouldn't be able to do anything about them even so.

Feingold would probably be more will to *fight* for things I believe in, but Kerry would have a better chance of *winning* for them, and as such I think he'd make the better candidate.

If it were to choose a president rather than a candidate, I'd probably vote for Feingold, though.

[Donald Ian Rankin]

32. Kerry.

I think there's a strong case to be made that Feingold would make a better president if he actually got elected, but Kerry is sufficiently more electable to make him a considerably better candidate.

Feingold would bring the Republican voters out in droves, to an even greater extent than Kerry did, I think, and probably also do less well at attracting floating moderates. His main appeal is among the most left-wing voters, as I understand it, and Kerry has proved that he can attract them too.

Feingold has balls ... and the only one right now not afraid of
"Prisoner #72 99310" Karl Rove

[adigal]

53. Kerry - because even though I like and respect Feingold

I really don't think he would have a chance in the general election. They would paint him as a total dove who will let you die so that terrorists have their civil rights. And they would succeed, unfortunately.

But he would be the best president regardless of how I would vote.

[Sugarcoated]

99. They'd paint him like a dove, smear him, etc.

And then he'd open his mouth. And he'd win. Conventional wisdom doesn't apply - it gets us nowhere.

[ClassWarrior]

117. You, apparently, have heard him. And I agree, conventional wisdom...

...will get us nowhere at this point. Can we say "Bob Shrum?"

79. Kerry

I think Sen. Feingold is an excellent advocate for change and a very good Senator. I just like Kerry better. But both men are good Democrats, good progressives and have a history of voting to improve the lot of the vast majority of citizens in this coun try. I think both men are also good government people and would work to bring back responsible and accountable government.

I would vote for Kerry. I have in the past and always will deeply respect the abilities of Sen. Feingold.

82. Feingold without a second thought. n/t

83. Since it is a bipolar poll, Feingold

but if Russ were to drop out and the choice were between Hillary and Kerry, I would vote for Kerry in a New York minute.

[Change has come]

84. Feingold

Clark VP

But it'd be nice to have both names on the ticket. (not particular of order, personally)

But that's obvious. Presidential as hell - and can win. I don't buy all the "conventional wisdom". It's gotten us nada.

[Jack_DeLeon]

101. Wesley Clark

or maybe Bill Richardson.

[cascadiance]

102. Feingold!

[Appalachian_American]

104. Feingold

I think Kerry would make an excellent president, but I don't think he can win in 2008.

[ClassWarrior]

103. Wisconsin's favorite son.

Feingold. Over just about anyone.

NGU.

[CrazyForKucinich]

105. Feingold

[alarcojon]

109. Russ all the way!

I'll grant that Kerry has made some gestures towards the left, but Russ has been with us all along. And Russ never said "I voted for it before I voted against it."

[laylah]

111. Feingold n/t

[fujiyama]

112. Feingold

I like them both very much, but I do feel that Kerry had his shot.

I think we need someone new. Feingold has a liberal record, but he's a maverick. Getting elected by 10 points in WI is an impressive task. But like IndianaGreen said, if this were between Kerry and Hillary, I'd be with Kerry for sure without a doubt.
