Russ Feingold for President?

Per Powerline:
Kathryn Lopez says Russ Feingold, not Hillary Clinton, is the favorite to win the Democrats’ 2008 Presidential nomination. He’s "Howard Dean without the delicate psyche," as she quotes one consultant…
And they’re not kidding us either. Per Lopez’s page at Townhall:
Move over, Hillary: Russ Feingold is going to be the Democratic nominee for president in 2008.
For far too long the assumption has been that the former first lady would be the Dems’ obvious pick. The storyline had dynastic flair, plus the sexy-milestone first-woman-president aspect. It had the wronged-woman-coming-out-on-top Style-section and glossy-headline opportunities. The idea launched many a Clinton-hater (hey, nothing wrong with that, I’m a card-carrier) book. It was scary while it lasted. But the moment’s gone.
Enter Sen. Russell Feingold, three-term Democrat from Wisconsin.
He’s positioned himself as the antiwar alternative……
Then she gets even wackier……
The Kos Kids are the Democratic constituency. Again, if you’re a Democrat and you want your party back, you might pay attention.
John Kerry listened to Howard Dean and the Kos Kids. The problem is not that the Democrats have gone sort-of left, the problem is the leadership has gone WAY left while the constituency in most of the country has remained moderate. The problem is not that Democrats should be expected to listen to a few radical leftists, and continue to lose at the polls ( see Cynthia McKinney ), the problem is the Kos Kids and Howard Dean are not the consituency, they’re just ignoring it and listening to themselves.
Why, pray tell, does Kathryn think Republicans are consistently winning in pre-dominantly Democrat states?
Now, let me return to laughing hysterically at Lopez some more! While I am, let’s test her theory:
