Feingold: No Decision Yet on Presidency

US Sen. Russ Feingold says it's too early for him to determine from tonight's results whether he will run for president in '08.

"There's reason to believe the approach and leadership I've taken on Iraq has resonated well," he said.

But, he said, the Dems' takeover of the House and gains in the Senate "make it attractive to remain a member of Congress."

Feingold said first and foremost the Democratic wave tonight is "a referendum on this disastrous decision to go to war in Iraq." He said it's also the voters showing their displeasure over one-party rule in Washington, D.C., and the Bush administrations bungling of Hurricane Katrina relief and issues like health care.

Feingold stopped by the Doyle event for about half an hour, working the crowd and doing interviews. He also visited with the governor, who is in a suite in the adjoining hotel, and said he was in good spirits.

Feingold said he never really doubted Doyle would be re-elected.

"He had a good record, he's fiscally responsible and dealt with that enormous deficit," he said. "He's been a workmanlike governor."
