It was not the type of wake-up call Democrats in the Badger State wanted to have on Friday.
In an email from his Progressives United political action committee, former U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold of Wisconsin announced he would not be running for any public office in 2012, and he was “thoroughly enjoying the life of a private citizen in this great state of Wisconsin.”
With Feingold finishing a book on foreign policy and continuing as a professor at Marquette Law School, he will not be trying to return to his old job with a Senate run for the seat of the retiring U.S. Sen. Herb Kohl, D-Milwaukee.
His exit makes a list of potential big-name candidates in any recall effort against Gov. Scott Walker even shorter.
