This is the first serious presidential prospect to take this stand.
If we want a candidate in 2008 that will want to end this war, we need to show support and do so with the full force of our keyboards and wallets.
When a Democrat acts like a Democrat, we need to pony up and put our money where our mouths are.

Now, I know the blogosphere has abandoned Russ Feingold now that he's going through a divorce and is no longer electable.
I'm sorry, but it's asinine to think that people too morally righteous to vote for a divorcee would vote for a woman married to a man who's adultery is known throughout the planet. People so judgmental that they wouldn't vote for a divorced man aren't going to vote for a woman or a Democrat at all, unless we give them the anti-gay, pro-war and pro-business Biden/McCain ticket that in our sick, twisted state of political discourse is a potential Democratic ticket.
Then we don't stand for anything and we'll continue to field candidates who offer the nation nothing but nitpicking and nagging of Republican policy.
Even if you're not supporting Russ, or think Hillary is unstopable, this is still a message we need to send to her and the rest of the milquetoast pro-war, anti-civil liberties members of the Senate. We can start trying to condition our own little Pavlov Democrats.
If you want to stand with Russ, donate now.
Then pass this on.
And end this fucking war.
