Jim Webb challenges George Allen to a Debate(but wants to limit the topics)

Democratic Senate nominee Jim Webb has proposed a series of debates with Republican incumbent George Allen. No problem; Allen is willing to agree to a series of debates. One problem: Webb wants to limit the topics to just a few (the only ones where he feels comfortable, no doubt).

How utterly pathetic of him

Liberals love self serving rules and limitations. That is, until they are used against them.

Is James Webb really a liberal?

As a representative of the people, he will not be dealing with just certain issues. Debate any and all current events or none. Otherwise, they might as well exchange recipes.

I can't say - my comment was more about the legion of liberals out there, and less about this particular fellow.

From what I gathered, I think he's a social liberal except perhaps pro-2A. Overhall he sounded pretty liberal in his interview on DailyKos.

How strange for a challenger to put conditions on a debate. Usually, a challenger goes out of his way to have as many debates as possible.

James Webb is not ready for prime time.

I wonder if Johnny Mccain will endorse him, i mean hell he endorsed and is out there running around campainging for lincoln chafee.

That's what the posts on that blog said. I guess Webb is running on his resume. I remember that McCain tried to do that and so did Kerry.

....a series of debates to address the war in Iraq, US national security policies, illegal immigration and the disparity between wealthy and poor Americans....

[HitmanLV]

I doubt it. McCain is a self promoter but he wouldn't do that.

No, he's of the political alignment "Former Reagan Appointee Gone Stark Raving Bats**t," like Paul Craig Roberts.

Is James Webb really a liberal?

James Webb is an opportunist. I used to respect him.

[SDGOP]

He has backed other challengers to republicans. Some guy in south carolina if i remember correctly.

Maybe not as Liberal as Nancy Pelosi, but anyone who switches parties and becames a Demonrat is more of a Liberal than your garden variety FReeper.
