Sen. Russ Feingold continues to drool all over McCain
   
Thanks for all your help Russ! Do you mind keeping your mouth shut until after November?

"I think the guy calls 'em as he sees 'em, and as president would call 'em as he sees 'em, and would make people mad all over the place because it wouldn't fit anybody's playbook," said Feingold, who teamed up with McCain to rewrite federal campaign laws.

"He would be very original," Feingold said.

Those are not exactly Democratic talking points.

In fact, while Feingold supports his fellow Democrat Barack Obama for president, he continues to express (when asked) his affection and admiration for McCain, even in ways that deviate from his party's core strategy against the Arizona Republican, which is to paint him as a clone of President Bush, and a "maverick no more."

Feingold calls McCain "very original" and a "maverick by nature." McCain's own TV ads call him the "original maverick."

1. Why does McCain have so many people snowed?   

I guess it's the clubby Senate thing.

Aw, the buzzy one.  Although not a primitive, the buzzy one continues to survive on Skins's island:

2. Well, that settles it. Feingold is dead to me because he refused to trash McCain.

5. He didn't necessarily have to trash him, but furthering the "maverick" BS when...
   
The stated goal of the Obama campaign and DNC is to refute that?

Not good.

6. We're trying to win an election...STFU!
   
I can see that him and McCain are friends. No one is asking Feingold to go kamikaze on McCain, but just refrain from praising the Dem's opponent! It's almost like he's countering all of Obama's ads.

All we need is for McCain to capture Feingold on tape drooling all over him, then put out a commercial with Feingold talking about how great McCain is.

18. So, we've got one of our prominent bloggers plumping for Feingold for VP. On the other hand...
   
we're supposed to be casting out Feingold because he refused to betray his friendship with McCain.

We have bigger problems.

Yes, indeed.

I can hardly wait for the Great Discombobulation.

3. sounds more and more like a traitor - like Lieberman.
   
there are a few asses that need to be kicked to the curb.

It's a medium sized bonfire, but the above's the gist of what the outraged Obamaite primitives are saying.

     Yeah, this has the feel of sarcasm. Weren't they JUST pimping Feingold for VP, or for 2012 or something?

If the messiah is going to be elected because of divine right of an empty suit who says absolutely nothing in a really, really cool way why should it matter what any other democrat says. Hell, he's got the votes of Putin and the Germans.

Ooooh, that's right Dems, don't you DARE say what you really think, if it deviates from official dogma!  Lickspittles.
