In Russ Feingold, voters in Wisconsin have a senator who is more nuanced than his challenger paints him to be.

They have a senator who possesses a deeper knowledge of the issues, is unafraid on principle to buck his party or a president of any party, has proven he can reach across the aisle, is a harsh foe of legislative pork and excessive spending and has earned the disdain of Washington's deal-maker, corporate lobbyists.

Feingold's Republican opponent, Oshkosh businessman Ron Johnson, has tapped into a vein of anger in Wisconsin's electorate. It may work very well for him. But there is quite a difference between stoking anger and recognizing how best to relieve that anger - a difference, to paraphrase columnist Thomas L. Friedman, between letting off steam as a "tea kettle" movement and using that steam to power an engine for beneficial change.

And based on Feingold's career, the Journal Sentinel Editorial Board recommends him for a fourth term to represent Wisconsin in the Senate.

1. These endorsements echo what informed Wisconsin voters...

...have known for a while now. Ron Johnson is an empty suit. Russ Feingold is the epitome of what a Senator should be.

While many are being fooled by Johnson, those of us who actually pay attention understand the special person we have in Russ, and we're working hard to ensure he's returned to Washington.

For those of you not in Wisconsin, please help make sure Russ is part of a majority.

Thanks,
