Tommy V. Feingold?

Charlie Sykes is calling for Tommy to challenge Feingold. Discuss.

1. Tommy likes to sit at the head of the great big table and make executive-type

decisions and pronouncements. He's as imperious as they come, and as ignorant and clueless as he is imperious, with malevolence in strong and frequent gusts.

If he became a Senate candidate it would mean that he'd be bargaining to become a lowly junior senator, sitting down and negotiating and compromising and doing the detailed work of cobbling together bills, with no clout or influence for years to come.

I just don't think his ego would absorb that role.

2. Ugh. Why don't they ever call for someone to challenge Kohl??

Frankly, if health care gets off the ground, I don't think Tommy would stand a chance despite his popularity in the red parts of the state. If we continue on this path, I don't know what will happen. It's been a decade and I'm wondering how many supporters he has from the olden days.

4. Why would you want the GOP to put up a strong candidate for either seat?

5. Because Feingold actually sticks his neck out there.

Kohl has earned the name Nobody's Senator. Admittedly, this term, things seem a bit more progressive with him. But no one of any import ever challenges him. Feingold always seems to have a "serious" challenger. Guess it's the neck-sticking-out bit that does it.

Tommy is awful, and I think he would not do as well against Feingold as they think he would.

3. Why isn't that pile of dog excrement Charlie Sykes running against Senator Feingold?

Just too damn chicken.

6. There was a congresswoman on his show today

I think her last name was Klayfish or something like that, and she made the comment that Wisconsin and the country is leaning towards conservatism in the next election.:evilgrin:

7. Tommy emptied Wisconsin's rainy day funds to buy votes...
