Senator Feingold Votes Nay

Russ Feingold (D-WI) has opted to stay out of the presidential contest in 2008, reports say. The Wisconsin maverick, a staunch anti-war Senator, would have brought a fresh perspective to the contest. With Feingold in the majority in the new Senate, he has opted to stay there and try to "undo much of the damage that one-party rule has done to America."

Feingold admitted his candidacy was a long shot, and he was leaning more against a run than for it. Like Mark Warner, who announced he would not be a candidate, both would make outstanding veep possibilities.
