This news is sad to me. I worked on Russ' last re-election campaign in Wisconsin and have written him many times with the hopes he could be convinced to run in 2008.
Since I no longer live in Wisconsin, I am a bit out of the loop and hadn't heard that he decided not to run. He is a fine man, a true patriot, a wonderful legislator and a true catalyst for political change.

Thanks for posting this, I believe Russ' name should become more widely known.
He has my complete admiration. Glenn Greenwald masterfully explains the whole story of today. On one hand, Russ would be a dream President. On the other, his name-recognition nationally is minimal and, especially in a competitive, star-studded field, he would have a huge battle to win the nomination. This leaves Edwards and Gore as potential Left candidates in an ocean of "moderates" - both of whom are nationally known and well-liked people.
