Today we met with Jim Webb's northern Virginia finance committee. Good, enthusiastic group. Upbeat campaign staff. The man himself came by and was looking fit and trim as usual--in "born fighting" mode.
We've got our work cut out for us--lots of money to raise!!
So, all you friends, relatives and acquaintances--hide your wallets; you'll be hearing from me soon!

About Me
- X Curmudgeon
- In summer '05, after 21 years of law practice in a large firm, I quit to pursue my true passion, writing. I'm 51 years old, married, with two children, boys ages 12 and 15. I watch too much television, read too many newspapers and magazines, and have too much time on my hands. I love politics and I hate lousy service and crummy products and bad science. In April 2009 my first book, Landstrike, was published. Landstrike "is the gripping story of Hurricane Nicole from its birth in the Atlantic Ocean to its catastrophic rampage up New York City's Hudson River." The book is available from Xlibris press, Xlibris.com. I hope you'll find something entertaining or inspiring on my blog.

Give money to a real democrat instead, like Ned Lamont. No more Republican who pretend to be Decmocrats... like Webb.
You must be kidding. Lamont--a multimillionaire businessman himself--has made an entire campaign out of the Iraq war and "someone who will stand up to Bush."
Webb opposed the Iraq war before it started and put his opposition in writing at the time, quite eloquently. He is running against George Allen precisely because Allen is a cipher for Bush. Webb will certainly stand up to W.
Webb is a real Democrat. Just because he doesn't check off every box in the list of Democratic special issue interests doesn't change that.
Actually it does change that. If the Democrats want to have any power going forward, we need to enforce ideological purity like the Republicans do. Support the war on Iraq? (Lieberman) Out. Pro-life? (Holden) Out. Supports the president on Education? (Webb) Out. Think Reagan was a great president? (Also Webb) Out. Yes, we should all vote for Webb against Allen, but we are much better served thinking -and donating- nationally and getting rid of fake democrats when we can rather than just promoting some blue dog like Webb.
