Bill Clinton needs to Campaign for Russ Feingold
Feingold is in trouble and we need to do anytihng we can to try to keep that Seat. on CNN they said hte REpublican is avoiding using the term "Republican" in his campaigning. so he is trying to appeal to non partisans and moderates by distancing himself from the republican party.

people from FEingold's state have mentioned he has not been as popular as the other SEnator.

i think Jobs are the biggest issue. he needs to come out with some ads like Barbara Boxer is putting out against Fiorina. and some ad with his accomplishments. people from his state have said they don't feel he has done much.

what can people out of state do to help Feingold ?

i'm in California where we have 2 big tough races so i'm mostly focused on that. but would like to do what we can to help Feingold.

there has been way too much focus on the Delaware SEnate Race where we will easily win.

2. Feingold should want whatever it takes to win the Seat
Jerry Brown and Bill Clinton still don't like each other personally. but Clinton is going to come campaign for him . they both understand for the people it's more important to win that election than whatever they feel about each other.

4. Clinton is not as busy , Michelle is going to campaign with Feingold
there was something earlier with Obama but because of scheduling conflicts they couldn't appear at the same time.

5. The Pres is having a big rally at the Univ at Madison

but once again Feingold won't be attending.

I really hope his 'independent' strategy works out for him again but PP polling shows he also needs all the Dem votes he can get - especially in
Madison and Milwaukee.

6. Hillary once said something to Feingold about how he was Naive
this was when both were Senators. it's either that or he is just stubborn.

7. Personally I think he is. He says things and then the real world
creeps in...and then he has to say other things that his progressive followers won't like.

Like he is anti war but he won't leave nukes off the table for Iran. That shit got huge play here.
