Wisconsin's Feingold is once again taking the foremost role in foreign policy matters in the Congress. Being against the War in Iraq from Day -1, Feingold's voting record is stellar in terms of consistency. Congress has the power of the purse and can potentially create a resistance the Bush administration's attempt to escalate the funds and troops in Iraq.
More on Feingold in upcoming posts, I'm sure.

It should be interesting what happens with control over the war agenda, not as much between the Executive and the legislature as WHO in the legislature. Pelosi and top Seante leaders are going to have to pull tooth-and-nail to get pissed-off democrats maintain prudence. Everyone wants a piece of Bush, and a peice of the fame. But the best interest of the party is to keep the light shining on the son-of-a-Bush in the white house. The democrats don't need to do much to take the White house in 08'. They don't need to do any thing great, they just need to not do anything bad. Iraq needs to stay the presidents baby, If the Democrats take control, they'll take responsibility, and no one wants responsibility for this monster. Democrats should hope Bush fights the Dems tooth-and-nail over the war till November 08'.
