Bernie Sanders Has A Left Flank? Weird.

I just don't understand this.

Earlier this week, it was Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) being targeted by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, which is hoping that some liberal lawmaker will stand up to insist that the public insurance option be included as part of the Democrats’ final health reform bill. Today, the group launched the next wave of its campaign, announcing plans to target Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) with online ads and thousands of daily robocalls to Vermont voters.

It seems to me as though it's Joe Lieberman, Ben Nelson, Blanche Lincoln and Mary Landrieu who killed the public option. Wouldn't targeting them be a more effective usage of resources?
