Democrats respond to Bush's Iraq speech.
Whereas John Kerry's response speech rambled, Feingold was sharp in his response. Norah O'Donnell threw all the Repub talking points at Feingold, and he responded well. His main points were that Bush has confused Iraq with 9/11 and that our military presence is fueling the insurgents...which Bush doesn't seem to understand.
But I'm most impressed with Feingold's attitude and tone. He comes across as a straight shooter, and that will appeal to swing voters looking for change. While I don't share the venom that some kossacks tossed at Mark Warner for his Iraq plan, I'm becoming more open to a Feingold candidacy in 2008. I still think Warner has the best shot at electoral victory, and that's all that really matters. But Feingold impreses me every time I watch him, and I hope he continues to speak up.
