"There are no senators who have that day everyday anxiety that he has as a dad with a youngster on the front lines. That gives him gravitas and credibility on this issue".
-Tim Kaine (D) Gov of VA
I could not agree more! We are going to see a different kind of US senator in the person of Jim Webb (D-VA) - he's very bright and not afraid to speak his mind.
For starters, it refreshing to see a US Senator take a stand and not go along to get along by pretending he approves of this admin's policies - "I'm not particularly interested in having a picture of me and George W. Bush on my wall".
"If we talk about the economy, we'll lose"
-Bush44's top aide
"This campaign is not about issues"
-Rick Davis, Bush44's Campaign Manager
