I like Russ Feingold

There are two ways of supporting a politician: as a representative, and as a leader.

A representative is there to vote the way I would. If we disagree, he’s not doing his job for me and that’s that. When I disagree with someone I consider a leader, I revisit my position. I may not change my mind, but I do give weight to a leader’s position.

I consider Russ Feingold a leader. Not that it matters in this case - he’s saying what I think, but probably saying it better than I could. In general, though, I very often don’t agree with him. Which is good.
