Reply #19: Actually, unelectable was more directed at Hillary than Feingold.

I think introducing Feingold at the top of the ticket would be too risky- in other words he is Jewish- I don't think most Americans would vote for him at the top because of that. I think he would make a fine President-but I don't think many could get past him being Jewish. I don't want a test case in 08-like AL Smith in 1928...hmmm just thought of what happened later 1929, then 32. We need to win in 08. Some of the things that Feingold has done for instance voting against the patriot act will make him a ripe target for charges of being soft on defense. When you are running for President you got to worry about what the things can do to you in view of many Americans. Sometimes you have to worry about what 10% here thinks or 8% here thinks. My dream ticket Clark/Feingold in 08- Let the country get to know him better and he will be a reasonable prospect for President in 2016.
