That neither would keep the Jewish note in the Democrat camp, because of Buchanan on the ticket, nor help them attract a counter-balancing anti-Jewish vote, because of Feingold on the ticket. (Talk about no-win politics.)
I think Senator Feingold will keep his now-secure US Senate seat from Wisconsin for a long time, and Pat Buchanan will continue his op-ed columns and roundtable talk shows for a similar tenure.
To be fair: Mr. Simon never actually said this should be a Democrat ticket. It could be... I forget, what's that loser party Buchanan keeps running under? Is it the Reform Party? Considering that they ran Buchanan with a Communist VP nominee, they'll pair up pretty much anyone who will get them some attention.
Buchanan and anybody makes an interesting combination. He's one of those of whom I must say that, while I oppose nearly everything he advocates, he does have style.
