Feingold: Edwards Supporters "Are Being Taken In" [View All]

Liberal champion Russ Feingold is having a tough time choosing between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, but he's more than willing to elaborate on his anti-endorsement of John Edwards. In an interview with the Huffington Post, Feingold discussed why he simply doesn't buy the sincerity of Edwards' current positions.

"You have to consider what the audience is, and obviously these are very popular positions to take when you are in a primary where you are trying to get the progressive vote," Feingold said. "But wait a minute — there were opportunities to vote against the bankruptcy bill, there was an opportunity to vote against the China deal. Those are the moments where you sort of find out where somebody is. So I think, people are being taken in a little bit that now he is taking these positions."
