The Third Way

Given the recent in-fighting in the Democratic party and the liklihood that we'll lose to McCain in the general election, I'm incredibly pleased that Wisconsin's junior senator has decided to run as an independent candidate for president. I've always liked Feingold, and I think it's time that we had a viable third party contender in American politics.

It'll be particularly interesting to see what McCain's reaction will be to Feingold's announcement, given that the two worked closely together on campaign finance reform. It will also be interesting to see whether Feingold sticks to his dollar-per-voter budgeting in such a contested, ad-heavy election season.

This was an April Fool's thing. Feingold is not really running as a third party candidate.

Unless he is.

But he isnt.

Yet.
