Wisconsinites learned last week that Senator Feingold has been running for office ever since; Mr. Clean’s de facto announcement to again run for the seat he was fired from after 18 years in Washington arrived on February 15, 2011 – the day he launched his national fundraising Rolodex known as Progressives United PAC.
As the Wisconsin State Journal reports, Johnson is set to travel across Wisconsin on a statewide tour throughout the week to talk jobs and national security concerns. Unlike for Senator Feingold, the people of Wisconsin need not wonder as to where Johnson’s statewide tour will take place.
When he officially announced his decision to run for office for the eighth time last year, Senator Feingold’s career in California left him desperate to prove that he was, in fact, physically present in the state he seeks to again serve in the United States Senate.
The questions surrounding the whereabouts of Senator Feingold for his own campaign announcement have been compounded by the troubling details regarding the whereabouts of his principles:
-
National Journal: "Feingold’s Early Fundraising Breaks Longtime Campaign-Finance Pledge"
-
PolitiFact: "Russ Feingold changes his tune on campaign contributions"
-
The Washington Free Beacon: "Nearly 70 Percent of Feingold’s Contributions Are Coming From Outside Wisconsin"
- Wisconsin State Journal: "Feingold rakes in national money"
As he jets off to fundraise with fellow Californians, Senator Feingold has been moonlighting as a Wisconsinite for purposes of again becoming a Washingtonian.
This Senate race between a businessman and a career politician couldn’t present a clearer contrast as to who has the record of creating jobs in Wisconsin and who has the record of wanting one in Washington.
