UPDATE: Feingold to join Obama in Madison

In a Tweet to his supporters, U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold said Tuesday that he had finished voting in the U.S. Senate in Washington and would join President Barack Obama today in Madison.

Here is what Feingold wrote: "@russfeingold Great day to be in Wisconsin! I made it! Finished voting and am proud to join President Obama at my alma mater.

Feingold had taken some heat for not being in Madison, though he had said weeks ago that he wouldn't be there because he hasn't missed a vote in the Senate.

Well, well, well.

Feingold will stand with Obama.

I'm sure Ron Johnson is very pleased.

Feingold and Obama together -- That will be a very rare sight indeed, almost as rare as Obama being seen going to church.
