A side effect of the censure resolution [View All]

I am totally sympathetic with Feingold's censure resolution. However, I have a problem with the way it was managed.

Feingold could not have expected that, while he was going alone and without having advised his fellow Democrats about what he was doing, they would rush to support him (he knows better). He did it however. I like that he did it, but it should have been done in a way that makes Bush the subject of the news.

Unfortunately, because of well-prepared talking points by the RW and because of Feingold somehow attacking Democrats on the media (segment that was not surprisingly repeated over and over by Fox News throughout the day), the story will be once again how the democrats are weak and disorganized. Note: is there a clip of Feingold saying that somewhere. I have trouble believing that Feingold said what was actually repeated on the blogs.

We now see the Washington Post go for his favorite subject: "The Democrats are in disarray".

I guess that by now, we can just hope a few other Democrats rush and support him, because if they dont, it will be a major blow for 06. May be it was Feingold's plan, but if it was, it is kind of messy.
