I am happy to confirm that Sen. Russ Feingold really is campaigning on the street and talking to real voters.
At least, that's what he was doing when we crossed paths at the Bay View public library this afternoon -- Main Streeting in Bay View (or Kinnickinnicing, as it were, since that is our main drag.)
You're never safe. My son was once on a ferry from Seattle to Bainbridge Island, wearing a Wisconsin sweatshirt, when this guy asked him if he was from Wisconsin, then introduced himself as Russ Feingold.
So be careful out there.
