Obama Takes Responsibility For Voter Frustration On Election Night

I'm a liberal & I was calling for Feingold's ousting.



I think you misunderstand, in general, what happened & what's happening in the coming months & years from the left, and despite what you see online from Feingold & Grayson fans, the loss of them yesterday is no big deal, & actually a good thing in the long run.



Feingold wasn't an 'earner'; he's been a drain, a liability. He's not even been earning his own keep. When we keep losing ground, not even maintaining the status quo, then we need to identify & clear out the de@d wood.

Just voting right on a bill isn't enough. Perhaps at one time, life in the Senate could be like that ('gentlemen' gathering together, debating, 'Marquess of Queensberry'-type rules, vote, majority decides, no hard feelings, move on to the next issue), but that's not what's been true of our political system for a long time.



Feingold had a longer run than his record deserved. His vote on the PatriotAct was in 2001. McCain-Feingold, his crowning legislative achievement, was in 2002 (& was overturned last year). His no vote on TARP was 2 years ago.



I like Russ Feingold; he's just the wrong guy for the job.



Grayson, that's another story for another day.
