I'm in the camp that while I don't think Feingold will run, if he does then he deserves the full support of the Democratic party. I think he knows that he'll need PAC's and such to win, and would rather enjoy retirement than compromise his principles.

Doesn't mean I'm enthused about Ron Kind either. After a solid progressive like Tammy Baldwin beat a semi-popular moderate former Governor last cycle, there's no reason to think we need to run a moderate hero like Kind to win. If Feingold declines, then my wishlist of candidates contains Mark Pocan and Mahlon Mitchell.
