"Center-Right Nation" Watch - Feingold's War Opposition Should Disqualify Him From a Chairmanship

Digby [1] has the goods on Democratic Villagers in D.C. asserting that Russ Feingold's opposition to the Iraq War - which is congruent with President-elect Obama's and the American electorate - should disqualify him from assuming the chairmanship of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Because, in our "center-right nation," everyone loves the Iraq War.

Meanwhile, the New York Times' David Brooks dreams of a Barack Obama presidency [2] whose primary aim is making wealthy suburbanites like him happy, in this a country whose landslide election of a man billed as a redistributing socialist displayed absolutely "no sign" of a "movement to the left."
