Damn

I always knew Sen. Russ Feingold was a long-shot for the 2008 Democratic Presidential nomination, but I was at least hoping he'd run for the selfish fact that it would give me someone to feel good about voting for.

Alas, Sen. Feingold has decided against running, which will probably be in the best interests of his health, sanity, and overall demeanor.

Meanwhile this week, Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack announced he would seek the nomination. I don't know Tom Vilsack from a hole in the wall, though he was born in Pittsburgh, which scores automatic points with me.

Wow, not even one week after the midterm elections, it's already time for 2008. I think we're living in a political industry complex.
