Don't Let the Russ Feingolds Go Down For the Sins of the Blanche Lincolns

Having said all that I still have a gripe against Russ. I followed the Health Care 'Reform' legislative process and I must say that I did not hear Russ's voice much. He should have made a song and dance about the way Single Payer was booted out. There is also one more discordant note in his record. He voted for the largest increase of H-1B quota. Not good but I would vote for Russ in a heart beat.
==================================================

In this system of government, where congressional districts have been gerrymandered and a state with a population of 500k has the same amount of representation in the US Senate as a state with 36 million (one senator from Wyoming, pop. 544,000, can hold the entire nation hostage), isn't it valid to measure a candidate's performance, not on what his intentions are or how good a heart he has, but on how effective he is  in achieving his supporters' objectives?

Feingold's a nice guy, but he's not an 'earner'.  Not for the left.  Like I said, nice guy, but not the brightest color in the box. In wolf pecking order, he's not an alpha, he's not a beta, he's not even a mature subservient male. All of the liberals in national office seem to be omegas.  This does not bode well for getting Democrats to deliver to the People.

All it does is enable distracting, meaningless rhetoric from the DLC-controlled Democratic Party, to claim it's got a "big tent".  But it does nothing to prevent the DLC's moving the center line to the right (to attract into the Democratic Party those Republican politicians & their supporters who have become disenfranchised from the Teabagger-controlled Republican Party.  

I've got a similar problem in my district, with my representatives.  My senators are DLC, and my representative in the House is a liberal who talks the talk, but doesn't walk it.  Every time House liberals get into a position to make gains on our behalf, they cave.  79 House Progressives pledged not to vote for a healthcare reform bill if it didn't have a public option in it.  They choked.
