64. While he is very popular around here
there are a some people who think he has some electoral challenges. I am not saying I agree with all of these worries but others might. Some may be worried that Feingold is...

A senator. Senators have had trouble getting elected for the last few decades. Kennedy was the last one.

From a state (WI) that we typically win. Presidential candidates typically win their homestate, so it would help the cause if our nominee came from a winnable red state.

From the north. Democrats have had better luck with southern candidates for the last few decades. Why that is is up for debate.

Jewish?!? I can believe this is an issue in 2006, but some people think it might be.

Twice divorced. It is pretty stupid that voters care about this crap, but they often do.

Alas, he does excite democrats, and maybe that's all that matters. I dunno. :shrug:
