Signs point toward difficult 2016 for Ron Johnson (R-WI) (Feingold may run!!)

Oh yes. And y'all Cheeseheads better do the right thing and vote for Russ.

.... Furthermore, in 2016 Johnson may have to run against former senator Russ Feingold. At first glance this potential matchup seems to favor Johnson, after all, Feingold is the opponent he bested in 2010. However, the poll mentioned above also showed that Feingold had a six-point lead in a Johnson/Feingold rematch, with a 13-point lead among independent voters ....

not the least of which would be to cement WI in the Blue column for the 2016 Presidential race.

and I don't even live in Wisconsin anymore! Wish my alleged representatives were clones of him or something resembling him and his values. He may have been the only one who could talk sense to Poppy McDowner.

Meanwhile my DINO Senator - the one who slipped a rider into a cromnibus Bill to end ESA protections for our most dynamic apex predator. I'll never forgive him for that... he only got my vote in the last election for his seat to keep a D's ass in the seat and that was the only reason he got my vote. It was not entirely worth it.

Go Feingold!!!

He was the only person polling ahead of the Goggle-eyed homunculus before the last election here. But if he doesn't want to run for Governor, then yes, I'd love to get him back in the Senate!
