IMHO having Lamar or Trent as the face of the Pubbies in the Senate would be a disaster! We need Sessions, Cornyn, Kyl, Coburn or Chambliss to be out there as the face of the Pubbies in the Senate telling our message.

That's what we need... but it won't be what we get. The same bastards(McCain, Specter, Graham, Collins... etc.) who positioned us for defeat... will be stronger than ever. The loss of Allen & Santorum is one helluva tragedy.

I so agree - I'm just sick about both of them losing. Something that might be a somewhat bright spot in this heartbreak is that from what I've read about Webb, he does have some conservative leanings and is pro-military AND he's a bit of a maverick and can fly off easily - -Dingy Harry may have a difficult time keeping him under his thumb.
