Do it Senator Feingold!

Yesterday, Senator Feingold officially jumped into the 2008 presidential race. He is now the "left of Hillary" candidate. Feingold plans to position himself to the left and hope for a good strike in New Hampshire. He is hoping to cash in on the Dean-ies!

Feingold is introducing a censure resolution. To no one's surprise, few Democrats jumped on the resolution. Josh Gerstein of The New York Sun has an explanation:

"It's a problem for the Democrats more than the president or the Republicans, is the irony of the thing," a political analyst at George Washington University, Stephen Hess, said in an interview yesterday. "It forces a lot of Democrats, notably Hillary, to a position where, is she going to pander, is she going to get her back up and resist it, or is she just going to ignore it?" he said. "It's hard to ignore it." (http://www.nysun.com/article/28983)

Feingold is playing politics. However, many Democrats are not amused:

"Another Democratic operative, Daniel Gerstein, said his party's candidates need to proceed cautiously with rhetoric condemning the president. "If all people hear about your message is you're against taking all reasonable measures to protect the country from terrorism and you don't want the CIA listening to Al Qaeda, it puts us in an even deeper hole on this issue," he said."

Do it Senator Feingold. We want you to introduce a censure against the President.
