Senator Russ Feingold came out to the suddenly close race in CO-06 between candidate
Bill Winter, and caricature Tom Tancredo.
Plenty of video cameras were rolling, and I have gathered up some of the clips.
Russ and Bill discuss the contest, the opponent, the new polls, and the issues.
Russ Feingold talks about Tancredo's attack mailing against Bill where the Republicans call him out for supporting universal health care, rolling back the Bush tax scam, and looking for a solution to the Iraq mess. Nice.
Feingold talks about being "Ready for victory," and the value of running a great candidate like Bill Winter in every race.

In addition to the fundraiser for the VIPs, Russ did a great thing for the people of Denver by arriving early enough to hold a free Town Hall event.
Here is some video from that event where Russ and Bill handed the microphone to the community and took questions for around an hour from anyone who had them.
It is edited down, so you don't get the full feel of how great these two are at listening to real people and giving real answers. The video chose some good sound bites, but they went into pretty fair depth with each person and were able to get into specifics without becoming wonkish when it came to policy.

Some great audio on the race can be found behind a sign-up form at AM760.net
It is a podcast of Jay Marvin's radio show from earlier today.
About midway through the show is an extended discussion of the Colorado Congressional races between Jay Marvin and area super-blogger Coloradolib.
