Russ Feingold has consistently been a progressive Senator to be counted on: the sole vote against the PATRIOT Act, a principled vote against bailing out the banks, a tireless fighter for civil liberties, and a man willing to stand up to his own party as well as the opposition. So it's no surprise that he's a prime target for conservatives.

John Nichols is from Feingold's home state of Wisconsin, and when he came by our studio recently, he gave us his thoughts on Feingold's race to keep his seat.
