Feingold Will Not Run for President in 2008

NOW THAT SUCKS BIG TIME, HE IS MY CHOICE DARN DARN DARN

HE HAS VOTED RIGHT ON EVERY ISSUE EXCEPT FRIKING ISRAEL AND THE LEBANON WAR

"I never got to that point where I'd rather be running around the country, running for president, than being a senator from Wisconsin," Feingold said in a phone interview from Madison.

Feingold, 53, conceded that he faced long odds of winning the nomination.

Asked about the Democratic field, Feingold made it clear he preferred a nominee who shared his views on the war.

"The first choice would be somebody who voted against this unfortunate Iraq war. That may not be available," said Feingold, who was the only Senate Democrat considering a run who voted against authorizing the use of force in Iraq.

"Second choice is somebody who at least said it was a bad idea. . . . I would be happy if Obama or (Al) Gore ran," said Feingold, who said he was not offering an endorsement.
