Front page effort to build name recognition for Webb in race against Allen. Lots more to follow from the Post, I'm sure.

Why am I calling to mind that "proverbial snowball in hell"? Give it up Mr. Webb. You don't have a chance.
I predict George Allen will get at least 53% of the vote.

George Allen is going to mop the floor with this guy. Webb is trying to harness the "anti-war" vote in Virginia (like that's going anywhere).
"Quite frankly, if you look at where we were before we went into Iraq and where we are now, we're certainly in a less safe world," -- Jim Webb 6/10/06
Jim Webb would rather have Saddam Hussein running Iraq than Prime Minister Maliki. Maybe he's trying to get the Ba'ath party endorsement.

Congress is overwhelmed by special interests and doesn't do enough for the little guy He's right about one thing... Congress is overwhelmed by special interests, and most of those special interests pretend to represent the interests of the little guy.
Which is part of the problem. Somewhere, somehow - Congress got involved in the business of the little guy, rather than the business of running a country. A country that is made up of 50 distinctive, and supposedly sovereign states, and a few hopelessly entitled territories.

He lasted exactly one year as Secretary of the Navy under Reagan and makes that his claim to fame.
However, he didn't get his pro-abort politics from Ronald Reagan.

Allen's going to skate by this guy and move on to the White House in 2008.

53%? That is so good for an incumbent Republican in a "red state."
/sarcasm off
Webb has an opportunity here. He is not your typical rat. He worked for Reagan. Maybe he has America's interests first, instead of a Presidential campaign.

"It's time to welcome home those Democrats who left for a time, the Reagan Democrats, the conservative Democrats, whatever labels we give them," Webb said. "It's time to welcome them home." Not in Howard Dean's Democratic Party.

Allen's going to skate by this guy and move on to the White House in 2008.No way. Romney runs rings around Allen as an intellect and an organizer. Romney is building a formidable machine. I predict he will be the guy to beat in the GOP.

I don't know anything about this guy--but I know that just listening to a list of his politics makes him dangerous in courting independents. It's also gonna be hard for Allen to argue that the GOP Congress is NOT sold out to special interests. Every Congress is.
I'd still prefer Allen to a Rat, even if I'm not sure I'd vote for him for President. Neither are trustworthy, but Rats are masters of the knife in the back.

The MSM said all the GOP candidates ran rings around Bush in 2000.
And I don't know how his religion will play in South Carolina.
Personally I think Romney and McCain split the more moderate votes between themselves and this leaves an opening for a more conservative candidate like Allen to grab the nomination.
That being said, Romney over McCain any day.

Romney is the only governor in a state in which gay marriage is legal. That is certainly not going to play well for his campaign.

It's a "mitt." Every time I think of Gov. Romney, I always remember the Arby's Oven Mitt.

"Congress got involved in the business of the little guy"
Well, that's a brand new perspective to me. Here I thought the Senate, the White House, and a good part of the House were on some kind of outer space voyage.

The problem is mostly the Senate really. The House is supposed to try and represent their constituents, and the Senators are supposed to represent the state legislators.
Instead we have a bunch of Senators who are popularly and directly elected, meaning we now have two Congressional houses that purport to represent the little guy, instead of one House for the little guy, and one house for the States.
