Feingold reaching out to supporters.

Awesome! That being said, hopefully he has learned from his crappy campaign in 2010.

Walker Compares Labor Unions and ISIS

He is begining to sound just like Paul Ryan, who's medicare voucher program, anti up Aarp, and didnt get him in 2012, now the Isis-Union comparison will gear up the unions against him.

Russ..... C'mon.

Russ, this thing is basically gift wrapped for you. Come on!

[Maxwell]

It wasn't that he ran a weak campaign in 2010, it's that he ran his same campaign of being true to himself and not taking corporate money. I feel like he would get a great deal of criticism if he went back on that against Ron Johnson.

I wouldn't say pride, I'd say principle. And honestly, I feel Feingold can't really go below 46% of the vote because of that pledge. I admire him for it, taking a principled stand and taking it seriously. I wish more people did that.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

I just hope he runs and beats the Republican incumbent.  I detest Ron Johnson - seeing him leave the Senate would make my day.

Feingold lost because he was a bad Senator and Johnson ran one of the best campaigns ever.  I wonder if Johnson can replicate some of that 2010 perfection.  It is hard to tell because Johnson isn't a politician and has acted as such since he won and he may have been the perfect man at the perfect time, not a amazing campaigner ...at anytime.

No, Johnson won because it was 2010.

Corporate money shouted in 2010 and 2014. It won.

It's the Koch syndicate that managed the general fight to transform the USA into a plutocratic oligarchy. Right-wing politicians who obeyed the money won. Now that more Americans know what is stake things can be different in 2016. Mediocrities win in wave elections and can get ousted in the next election.

They had better be, or America might be 'exceptional' mostly in having life-threatening poverty within the First World.

Having elections for judges is the worst.

Having elections for judges is the worst.

True, but try explaining to average people that certain public officials shouldn't be beholden to elections and see if they understand.

Because its not like Democrats accept corporate money, having lobbyist influences, or obey special interests. These things only happened in 2010 and 2014, when evil Republicans won massively.

Having elections for judges is the worst.

It really is. Unfortunate.

[Gass3268]

Luckily Wisconsin has only voted out a siting Supreme Court Justice I think like 2-3 times in its history. Also hoping that the Revenge Amendment doesn't pass.
