Feingold blasting Johnson for supporting the Bush tax cuts—I think that’s gonna come back and haunt him!!! He sounded just like Obama in that little one minute ‘guarantee’ to the people.

Johnson doing a GREAT job with his final statement, looking straight at the camera—Feingold looked at the mediator and isn’t making eye contact with ‘me’—that’s a huge flag for someone who is LYING. I’m praying he’s sooooo TOAST!

Yes, it’s over, save for the gawd awful Feingold’s closing statement.

Well, mercifully, he’s done now, too.

Thanks for the LIVE thread, Jean S!

I am so happy I got to see Ron Johnson!!!

He’s fabulous, for lack of a better word.

I hope he wins in a landslide.

A LANDSLIDE.

I’d like to see that damn Feingold humiliated.

Feingold now realizes that his gig is up. An 18 year run on the government teat has come to an end. Buh-bye, Rusty.

Amen!

And Feingold ads are running right now, LOL! Bet that cost a pretty penny for the post-debate ‘pole position’ as it were!

He’s sweatin’ bullets!

Oh, me too. What is fun is that he's never had to go on the defensive before. He's our WI maverick don't ya know. I think he modeled himself after Proxmire (sp) who was a "maverick" also but a total lib too but this state bought it for years. Yeah, ok, lots of us in WI are really stupid :-)

I hope he’s sweating. He got very animated and personal toward the end. I think he knew he was losing the debate. He looked awful. Bags under the eyes and that heavy 5 ‘o clock shadow. Such a slimebag weasel.

You are too kind.

I want him to lose by one vote. I want the person who casts that one vote to buy the house next door to rusty's house and put a sign up in the window reminding russ everyday the it was HIS vote that ended his entitlement. EVERY DAY!

Hi Jean: I’m returning to my home state soon..so I’ll see you at the Walker Victory office.
The debate isn’t on now. Anyone know if it will be rebroadcast and where?

Why not 100,000 voters showing up at his door with the same sign.

Kind of a twist when someone comes up to a Tea Party event and asks who the leader is and everyone yells out we are.

Oh, that’s right. I vaguely recall Senator William Proxmire. I had forgotten that he was from Wisconsin, but now I remember that he took the sainted Senator Joseph McCarthy’s seat and that he lived until a ripe old age.

So, he was the first “maverick”? I guess I never paid him any attention. I really just remember the name and his “age.”

Well, Feingold has had an 18 year run in your state. Enough. He’s done a lot of damage in the Senate. It’s just crying shame that his cohort McCain didn’t get the boot this year too.

Sorry about that, I could watch the video because I live in WI but I had no link for live TV nationally, I could only find the audio link for FR. Someone mentioned that it was on C-Span so maybe you can find it there with a search.

I may have shared this before, but please indulge me:

When I was running Family Assistance Centers during Operation Desert Storm, I had to go to our state capitol and BEG Feingold for a measly $30K to keep my operations up and running.

He was SUCH a snooty a-hole...acted like it was his PERSONAL cash he was parting with, LOL!

I haven’t liked him since because it was for a good cause(this was the first time Wisconsin Soldiers had been mobilized on this scale) and it was clear he didn’t know WTF he was doing, LOL!

I don't know, it'll be somewhere, send me a freepmail reminder and I'll find a link for you.

Milwaukee media made a huge deal about this debate saying that Johnson has lots of money but can he debate without a script? He was awsome.

No, you hadn’t told me before. Screw him double triple for that. I so want him humiliated. Typical libtard with feigned respect for our military.
