Feingold warns Democrats against being "too timid"
AMES, Iowa Democrats face a historic opportunity in this year's midterm election,
but could let it slip away if they become too timid.
That's according to Wisconsin Senator Russ Feingold, a Democrat who was in
Iowa today to talk with activists and students at Iowa State University.
Feingold says a combination of President Bush's low approval rating and voters
unhappy with a Republican-led Congress gives Democrats a chance to make
solid gains this year. But, he says they must remain aggressive.
Feingold cites his early and ardent opposition to the war in Iraq as a way to help
fire up Democrats and other voters.
