Feehery was just getting started however. He later worked for Denny Hastert when the mushy Illinois Congressman was Speaker. Hastert lost the House after being a rubber stamp for W. Bush’s worst agenda items for six years. Naturally Feehery also backed Arlen Specter over Pat Toomey in Pennsylvania, insisting that Toomey could never win in Pennsylvania. Predictably, he supported Charlie Crist over Marco Rubio in Florida. In case you missed it, Specter and Crist are now both Democrats, albeit post mortem for Arlen. Perhaps Feehery should officially join them in the party. According to Red State, Feehery also supported moderate losers Rick Berg and Danny Rehberg in states Mitt Romney carried by 19 and 14 points respectively. Who knew it was possible to run squishier campaigns that Mitt Romney? (His record is worse than Wake Forest football, where Crist played quarterback ironically.)
Then of course, after Dave Brat dispatched of Majority Leader Eric Cantor in the primary this year, incoming Majority Whip Steve Scalise instantly tapped Feehery as a senior consultant in charge of staffing the Whip office.

And yet the only Senate loss that you ever hear the gOpE consultants talk about is Akin (who was NOT the Tea Party guy).
