Russ needs to learn some history. Senators don’t win Presidential elections, except when running against other non-governors.

The road to the White House runs through the State House, not the Senate Building.

That aside, I like Russ. I liked him back when he was my Mom’s state senator. It’s just the American voter will take *any* governor over a Senator. Personally, I can’t come up with the last time a Senator defeated a Governor for president.

Dan,

Ah, I was misinformed. After googling and finding his article against the Patriot Act I am much impressed.

I am not sure I like his stance on Palestine, but he seems redeemable.

Go Cheeseheads!

What’s scary about it? He was the only one to vote against the Patriot Act, a bill that no one even read that stiffles civil liberties and was passed in the dead of the night.

Oh good. Russ, Patriot Act, Feingold. God I hope I’m done with school before 2009 so I can go home. This is getting scary.

Great story, Bry. Here’s mine from a few years ago…

Russ walked towards me and extended his right hand, which held a crisp $10 bill and some loose change. As I took the money from him with my own right hand, carefully placing my left hand under his right hand to catch any falling loose change, I asked, in a very distinguished way, “Anything to drink with your order today, Senator?”

“No, thanks,” he replied.

Then, once again, he left to go talk to someone important.

Russ is the greatest. A short, short man - but a great Senator. One of the few politicians you can actually root for.

Let me take this time to tell you the story of the last time I met Russ. He walked up to me, and I reached for his extended right hand with my own right hand, then followed up by taking his right elbow with my *left* hand. Looking him squarely in the eyes, I nodded as I greeted him with a very distinguished “Senator.”.

Then he took off to talk to someone important.
