TPM Reader RW on Feingold and the Lucys …
Coincidence that [Collins] plays Lucy hours after Feingold declares he won’t vote for financial reform? I think not. We can only hold their feet to the fire when we are united. A very selfish act from Russ, who totally misread the situation and what would happen? What are the odds that we will have the tougher bill Feingold wants in the next Congress? Exactly zero. This is real politics, not third-grade Model U.N. Feingold’s decision makes it more likely we will face another meltdown because we won’t have this majority next time around.
