With most predicting he will go down in defeat, Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold earned compliments from his former GOP ally, Sen. John McCain, on Monday.
The Arizona senator and 2008 GOP presidential nominee has campaigned hard for Republican Senate candidates this cycle while sharply criticizing their Democratic rivals, such as Sens. Barbara Boxer (Calif.) and Patty Murray (Wash.) But McCain saved kind words for Feingold (Wis.), with whom he worked on landmark campaign finance reform legislation eight years ago.

Based on something he said last week, I don’t think he likes Barbara Boxer too much. Who could?
In my view he lost b/c he ran a Bob Doleesque campaign. He came across as a doddery old guy who viewed himself as heir apparent. He stood for nothing and folks picked up on it. The voters of AZ seemed to disagree so we’re stuck w/ him a while longer. Perhaps they’ll be awake next voting cycle? One can only hope.
Mccain should be in the same predicament as Feingold is today.
Another good reason, next time around, to work really hard to retire this RINO.
Ditto....
He’s always got fond feelings for anyone who is not a Republican-Republican.
First fellow amnesty-for-gang-bangers author Tedddy “Swimmer” Kennedy departs the Senate, and now fellow free-speech enemy Feingold. Who’s left for our little bag of corruption from Arizona to play with?
And those words are: “It’s been nice working with you. Sorry about your election tonight.”
McCain is lucky Obama sued Arizona. I bet a lot of other Republican campaign managers wish he’d sued their states too.
No, his anti-abortion claim lacks commitment, just mouthing words on cue.
He’s always got Lovable Lindsey around, the gift from SC than never stops giving.
