Rivals in VA Democratic Senate primary keep lobbing harsh words
The Richmond Times-Dispatch ^ | May 28, 2006 | Tyler Whitley

Six weeks ago, New York Sen. Charles E. Schumer, chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, told the dueling Senate candidates in Virginia to cool it.

Then the campaign started heating up.

During and after a televised debate last week, James Webb called Harris Miller "the Antichrist of outsourcing." Interrupted once too often by Miller, Webb told Miller to "shut your mouth."

A blogger who supports Webb called Miller "Benedict Arnold on Steroids."

Miller and Webb are competing in a June 13 Democratic primary. The winner will take on U.S. Sen. George Allen, a Republican, in the general election Nov. 7.

Webb becoming a rat is dissapointing. Go Miller, he'll be easier for Allen to defeat in November.

This is some much-needed good news. Even without the mudslinging between Webb and Miller, George Allen is the solid favorite, but this does help matters.

Doesn't Herman Miller have personal finances he can use?

webb is a turn coat scummer. It's nice to see two rats fighting to be creamed by George Allen.

Drove from DC to Charlottesville over the weekend. "Jim Webb: Born Fighting" signs were all over the place. Very few for the other guy. Not a scientific survey, but interesting.

Sounds like Jim Webb has support in the rural and exurban sections of Virginia. It's in Richmond and the Alexandria areas that most of the Democratic voters live, and that would give you a better idea.

Webb served his country honorably. It's a shame that he's decided to become a RAT...

Webb polls better against Allen than Miller....so my vote in the June 13 Democrat primary is HARRIS MILLER.
