Keeping an Eye on Russ Feingold

Russ Feingold is one of the few Democrats who should be taken seriously for 2008; he's liberal which in this era of name-calling can be a handicap, but this guy has his act together and he's exactly the kind of politician to give liberalism a good name. Here's a couple of pargraphs from the Washington Post:

Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wisc.) has recruited veteran party operative Paul Tewes to help him begin the long process of courting Iowa voters.

Tewes, who served as the political director at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee during the 2004 cycle, is on a trip to the Hawkeye state right now as he seeks to develop a plan for Feingold to help candidates in the upcoming 2006 election. He is working on a volunteer basis for Feingold, according to an informed Democrat.
