Allen KICKED HER ASS (that nasty reporter with the race bait question).
The 'reporter', a liberal democrat from WUSA TV, got roundly booed and hissed.
Consider this: The audience was pretty much on Webb's side from the beginning, filled with libs. The applause Allen got and the applause Webb got were very different. However, when Allen castigated that lib reporter for her very rude, stupid question, the applause I heard for Allen was the loudest I had heard. In other words, the Post wrote a propaganda piece: It was not "Allen's supporters hissed", it was "lots of people hissed, and most applauded for Allen when he returned fire".
Everyone has got to hear/see this debate. It was great!
The three minute close was BRILLIANT by Allen. Webb, by contrast, leaned on the podium, rambled on, and had, I counted, 24 "uhs" in his close.
Allen won the debate hands down.
I listened/watched the debate on my computer yesterday...and you description is absolutely dead on.
The questioner was the one that came out the FOOL on this..not Sen. Allen.
AND, this is yet another hit piece by Dana Milbank..he completely mischaracterized the whole episode.
