Feingold beats Bush

Russ Feingold beats Bush. The patriot act was blocked. Big time. Importantly, an obvious split in the republican party became apparent. Four republican senators sided with the democrats on this issue.
These were:

Larry Craig (R-ID)
Chuck Hagel (R-NE)
Linda Murkowski (R-AK)
John Sununu (R-NH)

These republicans voted against the patriot act for a variety of different reasons. They all deserve credit for voting based on principles.

But the most credit goes to Russ Feingold, who proved again that he will be the strongest democratic presidential candidate in 2008.
