I've never wanted anyone to win their party's nomination this much. I recently read an article about him in Vogue, and I wanted to share with everyone what I learned about this man.
- He was the lone senator to vote against the Patriot Act, only 6 weeks after 9-11. Most senators felt that if they dissented, it would be political suicide.
- 1 of 23 to vote against the Iraq War Resolution.
- 1st member of congress to propose a timetable for withdrawal from Iraq.
- When he became Senator, he promised to keep his family home in Middleton, Wisconsin, accept no pay increases, and rely on in-state money for his campaigns. He vowed he would not "go Washington".
- He holds a public meeting in each of the state's counties (72 of them) every year.
Here are two good sites to do a little bit more research of Feingold:

Wouldn't it be a great election if Russ Feingold and John McCain ran for President in 2008? Either way you really can't go wrong.
