I'm kind of let down by Feingold |

with Russ Feingold. I just found out he opposes gay marriage. I thought of any senator he would be the one to support it. Does anyone know where he is at in the polls? Is he going to win re-election? Are there any US senators who support gay marriage besides Kennedy? If not that is truly pathetic. I heard a rumor that Republican Lincoln Chafee supports gay marriage.

1. The republican senate commitee |
|
has decided not to fund the republican challenger.
Fiengold is almost definetely going to be reelected to the senate seat. I'm a bit disappointed in his stance on this, but he's a good guy overall. I still have a lot of respect for him because he voted against the PATRIOT Act.

but, shouldn't people take a discernable position? I appreciate its wedge aspects, but what does Feingold believe? Is he some religious person who thinks marriage shouldn't be between two of the same gender? Is he a person that respects gays and wants to give them equal rights and protections?

4. Russ is running against a cookie cutter version of Bush |
|
Wisconsin needs Russ to win this one. Russ is also the senator Bush/Cheney would most like to see out of office.

6. After the election I'd be surprised to see |
|
the gay marriage issue resurface at the national level. It is being and should be handled by the individual states. Push at the state level, not the national level.
