Feingold on MTP
Posted on June 29th, 2006 by ecthompson
The more that I see and read about Russ Feingold the more that I like him. He is thoughtful and practical. He is not afraid of the GOP. He knows when he is right and when to force the issue. Tim is throwing 95 mph fastballs at him and Senator Feingold is knocking them out of the park. Iraq and the phased pull out, Cheney’s comments about Democrats suggesting a pull out even a question about Lieberman - Feingold was perfect.
Thanks to CL and Think Progress for the clip (I can’t remember which one I got this one from).
Feingold appeals to me, also. For a while I fell into the trap of thinking I wouldn’t support him as a presidential candidate because of a perceived lack of “electability.” Now I beleive that if he were to win the nomination, he could run circles around right-wing scare tactics. He could stand up to it because of his total fearlessness. And, if he didn’t win the nomination,he still could put some sanity into the democratic debate that might lead the whole party into a stronger position.
