What a difference six days makes.

On Wednesday, Aug. 19, at a town hall meeting in Mercer, U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold was sounding downright disheartened in assessing the prospects for passing substantive health care reform this year.

A bill would not be voted on by Christmas, Feingold declared, and one might never happen at all, he added.

But by Tuesday night, Aug. 25, after national news outlets picked up The Lakeland Times story reporting his remarks, the senator was suddenly in a much more confident mood, saying he would work "to make sure" a reform bill passed by Christmas." Feingold backs away from Mercer remarks

Please, will someone run against Russ?
