Sen. Jim “Thinskin” Webb (D-WashPo) has received his first grades from Virginians and they are not so hot. Overall, Webb’s net approval rating is minus 5 percent while our senior senator, John Warner, enjoys a plus 33 percent approval rating. Heck, even George Allen was plus 1 percent in December after Webb defeated him the previous month. Sounds as if Virginia is already experiencing buyer’s remorse on this lemon.

Is this before or after that hateful rebuttal speech he gave the other night?

I hope Allen unseats him next time around.

The people of Virginia are still stuck with Webb as one of their two senators for almost six more years unless he dies or gets convicted of a felony. Perhaps they should have asked what kind of a senator he would be before they voted for him rather than just go with the touchy-feely that he doesn't much like President Bush's handling of the Global War on Terrorists.

President Bush's job approval ratings, touted as being so low, surpass Webb's and Warner's.

Virginia's new senator delivered the Democratic response to President Bush's State of the Union message.

There. I fixed it.

While I'll laugh hard at this on the blogs, this is obviously a response to his threat to hit the President, not about anything he's done in the one week he was serving as senator before this poll was taken.

If is funny that his approval rating is already way lower than Allen's was AFTER he lost the election.

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.
