Sen. Feingold weighs in on Clinton, Obama, McCain [View All]

Feingold said he voted for Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., in the Wisconsin presidential primary, and is “highly inclined” to cast his superdelegate vote for Obama at the Democratic National Convention because Obama won Wisconsin.

The past few weeks have been bad news for Democrats, Feingold said, mentioning problems between the campaigns of Obama and U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y.

Obama’s speech Tuesday about racial issues raised by his Chicago pastor was “very convincing,” Feingold said. “He pushed it away pretty good today, but it’s going to keep coming back.”

Feingold said it’s ridiculous to hold a politician responsible for everything said by a rabbi or minister at Sunday services.

“The reverend’s remarks bothered me a great deal. I find those remarks really offensive,” Feingold said, adding he believes they’re the exact opposite of Obama’s beliefs.
