Feingold Raises The Roof in Osceola
Ed Fallon, Christie Vilsack and Chet Culver garnered their share of applause, but the real fireworks came when Wisconsin senator Russ Feingold entered the hall at the 5th District Democratic convention held in Osceola Saturday morning.
Feingold was trailed by several staffers, a reporter from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, and even a camera crew from Iowa Public Broadcasting shooting the appearance in high-definition video. After cracking a joke about the Wisconsin Badgers vs. the Iowa Hawkeyes, Feingold launched into a brief list of issues that he is passionate about - including health care for everyone, ending the war in Iraq by the end of 2006, and protecting the constitution by censuring President Bush.
At each point he made, Feingold had to finish his sentence by talking over the continuous applause. Major points were met with standing ovations from the hundreds of Democrats in the hall. These Democrats clearly agreed with Feingold's positions and could begin the spark of a Feingold 2008 campaign in Iowa.

I love hearing about Feingold successes in other states. I jsut attended the annual listening session in my county in WI, and as usual was very impressed. The night before I attended a Progressive Patriot Fund event, and that was even better, since we got a chance to chat with him. He is the real deal, and I'm heartened that his appeal is not limited to Wisconsin. He talked about his recent Texas visit, which also went well.
