Reply #69: Feingold is most certainly an entity.

He's leading the charge from the left--especially on Iraq, at the moment--and I'm proud to call him my Senator (Herb Kohl not so much--but at least he's a Democrat). Kerry's a very able follower, except that from time to time he follows the wrong trends and the wrong people; that's what followers do, though. Feingold is actively listening to the American people, but he's also voting right on the big issues, even when the majority are more than willing to hand over the keys to the military and the Bill of Rights to Bush. In contrast, Kerry voted wrong on the IWR and wrong on the Patriot Act--both of those votes look pretty inexcusable in retrospect.
