"Center-Right Nation" Watch - Feingold's War Opposition Should Disqualify Him From a Chairmanship
Open Left - Front Page —
Digby has the goods on Democratic Villagers in D.C. asserting that Russ Feingold's opposition to the Iraq War - which is congruent with President-elect Obama's and the American electorate - should disqualify him from assuming the chairmanship of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Because, in our "center-right nation," everyone loves the Iraq War. ...
"Democratic Strategists"
TalkLeft —
Via Digby: [Andrea] Mitchell: Let's talk about the State department and foreign policy. John Kerry, widely anticipated to be at least one of the people considered, really wants the job, although with joe Biden leaving the foreign relations committee,if he doesn't get the job, he would be the foreign relations chairman because he has the seniority. . . Feldman: What I saw the other day is the domino effect of Kerry as Secretary of State might put the Democratic caucus in a position where Senator Feingold would be the next up to chair the Senate ...

... leave for an Obama administration, it's Feingold's gavel. Except, maybe it won't be, because he's a "liberal" who, like Obama, was right about the war in Iraq when most were wrong. In fact, The Hill quotes Dan Senor, the former Bush administration spokesman in Iraq, saying Feingold would be "a hard-left chairman," while Nelson "is basically supportive of Obama but not with the ideological purity that Feingold has." Why Democrats would take advice from Senor is unclear. What's more, Digby noted a "Democratic strategist" named Michael Feldman arguing on television the other ...
