<<Even if he were by some fluke nominated, I think we can be sure that the 
"mainstream" media would portray him as an extremist, while flashing coded 
messages about his ethnicity/religion, or else ridicule him to death like 
Dukakis.  I can just hear the pundits bemoaning his lack of "gravitas," or 
whatever.

Jacob, thanks for the background info - that was interesting.  Dukakis was 
(or came across as - I don't know the man) a shill & a wimp.   I've only seen 
Feingold speak twice, but he gave me a different impression.  Did he deal 
with the pressure/attacks well in his state campaigns?
