To me it seems that Feingold may regret that he didn't use his position to lead the Alito filibuster. Since then he has tried to rally the base on this and on the Patriot act. Neither of the charges he has led are winnable, Alito was winable and far more important. I may be getting too cynical, but it may well be that he sees Kerry possibly taking the part of the political spectrum that he thought would be his alone.
His fund raising material really emphasizes the IWR vote and the Patriot Act vote. I think the IWR vote will help in the primaries and not hurt in the general election, but I think the Patriot Act and this censure would hurt in the general and possibly in the primaries. My guess is that it may also be that he needs this type of thing for fund raising. But he risks being a better looking, better sounding Kuchinich.
