Limbaugh compares Feingold to Osama bin Laden

On Friday, right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh compared Russ to terrorist Osama Bin Laden on his nationally syndicated radio show. Speaking about the al Qaeda leader’s most recent audio tape, Limbaugh said, “sounds like this could easily be [said by] Russ Feingold, the Senator from Wisconsin.” Listen for yourself:

I’m not shocked by Limbaugh’s [...]

Russ Feingold hasn’t had a bad week; conservatives are just making hay

If you listen to some conservatives, you’d think Senator Russ Feingold had a really bad week. First there was a poll that showed Sen. Feingold trailing former governor Tommy Thompson, then there was the allegation Sen. Feingold left a radio interview in a huff. At face value, it sure might seem like [...]

Will Tommy! run for the U.S. Senate in 2010?

It’s no secret former governor Tommy Thompson likes to see his name in print and hear it mentioned on the television, so it shouldn’t come as a great surprise to anyone from Wisconsin that Thompson’s name is being floated as a possible contender for Sen. Russ Feingold’s seat, which is up for election this year. [...]

Westlake makes major announcement, suspends campaign fundraising

On Wednesday I noted Republican U.S. Senate candidate Dave Westlake had a major announcement planned for January 14, 2010. At the time, readers of this blog opined on what they felt Westlake’s announcement would be, but none guessed Westlake would announce he was suspending all his campaign’s fundraising. Instead of formal campaign [...]

Dave Westlake’s wife: Sen. Feingold is a “turd”

See for yourself as Amy Jacobs Westlake, the wife of Republican U.S. Senate candidate Dave Westlake, agrees that Sen. Russ Feingold is a “turd”:

Not surprisingly, Amy Jacobs Westlake has since removed her comment agreeing with a previous commenter’s assessment of Sen. Feingold as a turd, so it’s a good thing I did a screen capture [...]

“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!”

“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!”

That seems to be Republican U.S. Senate candidate Dave Westlake’s motto when it comes to health care reform, at least according to an interview :
“We already have 100% universal coverage to health care… emergency rooms. Um, now, it, it may sound callous to say well, if you need [...]

The odd couple

Republican U.S. Senate candidates Dave Westlake and Terrence Wall certainly are the odd couple, aren’t they?

Terrence Wall’s “scientific” polling exposed

A few weeks ago I wrote about the fundraising appeal Terrence Wall made to supporters of his U.S. Senate, and I noted the “scientific poll” Wall cited as proof of the supposed vulnerability of incumbent Senator Russ Feingold. Here’s what T. Wall had to say about his “scientific poll” (emphasis mine):
P.S. Wisconsin voters want [...]
