Yesterday on TV Sen. Russ Feingold went out of his way to construe Pres-elect Bush’s remarks about campaign finance reform (CFR) in the most optimistic light. Does Feingold know something the rest of us don’t? Might something be in the works?

Not likely. Talking Points has learned that there has been no communication between Sen. McCain and George W. Bush since the two spoke a few days after Thanksgiving. None. (Sources good? Very.) When they spoke back then McCain pressed the importance of making some arrangement for bringing CFR to a vote. But Bush has not been in touch.

If Bush has some strategy for making this something less than a humiliating stumble he’s keeping it pretty close to his vest.
