Sen. Russell Feingold, D-Wis., who led the effort to strip the provision, said putting it in the budget was "a backdoor maneuver."

A name that has to be on the must-go target list come next election, even for this vote alone. Anybody know when he's up for reelection? Also, could we list the other nine, so their names can get out there? They all need to be on the s -hit list.

Unfortunately, Feingold was just re-elected last November to a new six year term. He was considered vulnerable, but a three-way bloodbath in the GOP primary in September left their surviving candidate (Michels) somewhat bloodied, and with too much ground to make up.

Hopefully, the GOP will learn from this experience as they gear up for the "winnable" Senate races in 2006 (FL, NE, WA, ND, and MN).
