Feingold

The article says Kasten was defeated by Russell Feingold, who ran a clever campaign in the Democratic year of 1992. So how clever was the campaign? Are you sure that Feingold was not, perhaps, a better candidate or at least a more popular candidate? No, I guess it must have been his clever campagn.

What was the Democratic year of 1992.? Is that like "the Year of our lord 1992? or CE 1992? I like "Democratic Years". I hope that becomes our new calender. We can use more "Democratic Years". 24.254.232.33 01:13, 13 December 2005 (UTC) ShermS[reply]

Feingold's campaign was clever ("He knows Wisconsin like the back of his hand") and that helped propel him to the from of the Dems pack. But kasten was a dink and that's why Russ won. Kasten only got re-lected to a second term because the dems nominated state-wide unliked Ed Garvey (who is only liked by left core demos). Feingld was well liked and became popular over the course of the campeign. --Purpleslog 12:37, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
