Digby took apart the various arguments against Russ's resolution on The Huffington Post this morning. You can read it at this link.

His post gave me an idea that I'd like to toss out for discussion.
Look at this as a strategy
Bush is wildly unpopular because he has made so many bone-headed moves that even his base is furious with him. The Republican strategy is to RUN AWAY FROM BUSH as fast as they can...
but....
If the Feingold Censure resolution gets debated in the Senate, either in committee or on the floor, the Republicans HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO RALLY AROUND BUSH...
Thus, the Republicans bind unto themselves all the incompetence of the Bush Administration just in time for the '06 elections.....
Risky?MaybeHigh risk...high reward.
Or as my old, reprobate father used to say, "No guts, no blue chips!"

I just read the Digby post,and it makes perfect sense. I like your suggested strategy. After all, Feingold's original intent was probably to encourage prolonged debate on the idea of censure. I'm pretty sure he was aware that it wouldn't be voted on successfully.
