FEINGOLD GETS IT

From an AP story in my local paper:

Feingold said his sole purpose was to hold Bush accountable, but he argued that it's also good politics.

"These Democratic pundits are all scared of the Republican base getting energized, but they're willing to pay the price of not energizing the Democratic base," he said. "It's an overly defensive and meek approach to politics."

I'd like to see more of this from the Dems. The GOP can come out with whatever craziness they want to appease the fundies but as soon as a Dem appeals to the Democrat base, it's a no-no according to the Beltway Dem Advisors.
