Feingold makes Walkerville Appearance with Speech!

Below is the speech Russ Feingold made at the Walkerville protest Sunday, courtesy of WTDY's Sly in the Morning.

....

WSJ: Republicans "went right for the jugular" when they chose this state as the place to demonize public employees, destroy the right to vote and abuse the budget process that will continue this week, former U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold told supporters Sunday evening near the Capitol Square.

1. Feingold wants Governor

2. That would be too good to be true

I hope you are right. Wisconsin deserves him.

7. Wish that weren't the case. We need somebody like Feingold in the Senate.

He's one of those rare Dems who really got it on all the important issues. I think he'd be wasted on just being Governor.

11. We need Russ to run for Governor!

Wisconsin needs Russ in the Governor's chair to clean up Walker's mess.

RUN RUSS RUN!!!!

3. UnRec trolls are out in force on this one.... Huge K&R from me!

9. Seriously--why would anyone unrec this?

[Melinda]

13. It's gotten difficult to be a liberal, progressive democrat on DU like Feingold (and me!)

like many of us!!

Go figure. :shrug:

5. Rec for Feingold. I hope he runs again, I think by now

there is a lot of buyer's remorse. But he may not want to.

One of our best Senators imo.

:kick:

10. I think he will long and hard about running. Maybe see how the

recalls go this summer.
