Senator Jim Webb's first job approval ratings show more negatives than positives. Virginia's junior U.S. Senator has a Minus 5 approval rating. SurveyUSA polled 600 Virginia adults between January 12 and January 14, so the rating does not reflect reaction to Webb's appearance on national television last night. Virginia's new senator delivered the Democratic response to President Bush's State of the Union message.
Virginia Senior Senator John Warner's approval rating went from a Plus 23 in December to a Plus 33 in January. Warner, who has recently broken with the administration policy on Iraq, saw his net approval numbers go to their highest level since last March.

Oh, that is right, thank you.
I had forgotten that episode.
The Virginia "oh so smart, I'm staying at home" people, the conservative useful idiots who turned their backs on George Allen, can now watch this scumbag embarrass them and their state for the next six years. It's just too bad the small number of Virginians who get it have to suffer for the others.
If I was to venture a guess, I would say that Webb is following the John Edwards model. Edwards' positives never recovered from his own election and later failed to carry his own state when running with JFK.
Larry Flynt's Siamese twin is not making a good impression on the voters.
IMHO, in a few years, even his fellow Senate Democrats won't be able to stand him, either.
Maybe when he gets all sad, he can go down to Richmond and point guns at the Black folk. That should perk him right back up again. ;-)
Sheets Byrd does indeed have a worthy successor to pass his mantle to.
