The smart money says that Hillary Clinton will be the Democratic nominee in 2008; argues that Russ Feingold hasn't got a prayer. Maybe that's the case. But if I were Hillary, or one of her advisers, I'd pay attention to Feingold. I'd remember that no one gave Howard Dean a chance in 2004 and he came out of nowhere, raised a ton of money from unconventional sources, and got close to the nomination. A lot of us feel that, in retrospect, he would've been a hell of a lot better candidate than John Kerry. Dean is a fighter. So's Russ Feingold.

I'm not saying that I won't vote for Hillary. I'm saying that I want a 2008 Democratic nominee who's a fighter and stands on principle—who's a real leader. That seems to limit the field to Russ Feingold.

But, maybe Hillary will come around. There's a lot of time left before the first primaries in January 2008. Enough time for Hillary to show us she's a leader.
