WEST ALLIS, Wis. — Senator Russ Feingold says he should not be considered the front-runner in his bid for a fourth term. If that self-appraisal is true, Democrats face a greater risk of losing their majority in the Senate than they believed when summer began.

Dinesh Ramde/Associated Press Ron Johnson “Frankly, I love being the underdog,” Mr. Feingold said. “Let me have it.”

As the senator talks to voters across Wisconsin, that description is perhaps an exaggeration for an incumbent with a national reputation, but it has become a central part of his pitch.

I love the Slimes’ optimism when you go to the interactive map.

They have Alaska, Arkansas and Louisiana as just “leaning Republican” and Missouri as a tossup along with Wisconsin. They also have Washington and California as leaning Democrat, when it’s a two-point race in either state.

Poor liberal kool-aid drinkers are going to be in for a shock come November 2.

"...he hopes the warning cry will prompt his loyal Democratic followers to rally to his side come on up from Chicago and help me stuff the ballot boxes with phony absentees in a challenging election year."

There. Fixed it.

Awww Russ.
IMHO you should always be 'the front-runner'...

The above is HUMOR.

Nah. His presence on the ballot might inspire lefty AA voters to come out stronger. The mood on both sides is just fine.
