| Description | Sen. Russ Feingold said today that he voted for Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama in this week's Wisconsin primary and indicated that he likely will vote for Obama's nomination as one of the state's "superdelegates" to the Democratic convention this summer.
"I really do think that at the gut level, this is a chance to do something special" for the nation, Feingold said, adding that electing Obama represents "an enormous historical opportunity for America and for our relationship with the world."
In an interview with the editorial board of The Capital Times, Feingold said he believes that the expected Republican nominee, Arizona Sen. John McCain, could prove difficult for Democrats to beat, particularly in hotly contested states like Wisconsin.
"We just barely won the state for (Al) Gore and (John) Kerry" in 2000 and 2004, Feingold noted, adding that McCain is "perceived as a hero with crossover appeal" among Democrats and independents. |
