Feingold rules out 2008 run for president
Craig Gilbert reports in today's Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI) said so in an interview yesterday. What kind of candidate will his party nominate?
Sounds like he could have supported President Bush in 2004, if Bush had been a Democrat. ¶ 11/12/2006 10:32:00 AM
"The first choice would be somebody who voted against this unfortunate Iraq war. That may not be available," said Feingold, who was the only Senate Democrat considering a run who voted against authorizing the use of force in Iraq.
... "Those who were there and came to the judgment the Iraq war was a good idea have to answer for some concerns I have about their judgment. That was a really bad judgment. I'm prepared to support a Democrat who voted for that war, but I think the American people would prefer a president who had the judgment to see it was not a good idea," he said.
