[Update 12 Nov: Russ Feingold on Saturday, 11 November 2006, withdrew his name from consideration for the Democratic ticket for 2008. Who can blame anyone for not wanting to go through a grueling campaign, much less actually have to run the executive branch of government. If he says he's out, I believe him - Feingold has always been a man of his word. I maintain the central sentiment of this message nonetheless. A principled stand for progressive values, consistently applied can win the respect of the American people, even when those values are frequently deemed to be "more liberal" than the average American. Dare to dream!]
Whew!
A 12 year stranglehold on the lower chamber of our Congress by the greed-driven faction of the Republican party has been decisively broken. The grown ups (hopefully) can now set the agenda, and reasonable Republicans can participate.
So why wait on looking toward 2008?
It's time to break the right-left dichotomy myth as well.
Principled Progressive values are common sense compassionate values which in their simplest form are shared by the majority of the American people.
Russ Feingold has represented those values consistently with integrity and grace.
They'll say he's "too far left". Let him speak. America is ready to listen.
They said Howard Dean's 50 state strategy was nuts. It wasn't. Dean has been a great nuts and bolts leader of the Democratic Party.
Russ Feingold can be an inspirational leader of our great nation.
Dare to dream!
