#4 From what I've read, the Dems won in VA because they managed to increase Dem turnout by a large percentage in two key counties: Fairfax and Arlington. Arlington has a large population and has always been socialist. Lots of govt employees, lib ideologues, and activists live there. Increase the turnout by 20% and you get enough Dem votes to account for the margin of victory. I assume GOP operatives are strategizing as we speak on how to counter this.

Government layoffs?

#7 LOL I love that idea of layoffs. Cut a few thousands loose and all of a sudden the Dems are a minority...again.

Webb is a loose cannon. Just give him enough time and he'll hang himself. (He just writes book on pedophilia for entertainment....)

#10 I guess Webbs son was one of those people who could not find employment or money for college and had to join the military because he had really bad parents that didn't guide him to the right decision.

#11 A Virginny on another blog pointed out that Allen's campaign was clueless (DUH!) because Webb has a temper and they didn't make him lose it.

#13 Webb was, is and always will be a dickhead. Thats just his basic personality.

In 6 years, both sides will hate him. Ask anyone that worked for him as SecNavy.

#14 FYI, Hiring Jim ~~Moron~~ Moran's chief of staff is a real smart move. NOT.

Moran is one of the biggest idiots in the Congress. Go look up his quotes - he's been Rantburg fodder many times.

#18 I just want to voice my opposition to the redundancy of James Webbs. Ya got yer telescope Webb, and a hairy Florida astronomer who was in the paper the other day, and this clown, and Wikipedia has a whole page where you can go to sort out your James Webbs.

I am against this proliferation of Webbons.

#19 Ed, the problem is that the last time the Dems "reinvented" the Federal Government, while the total number of employees was reduced, almost all the reductions were in the Defense and Intelligence sectors (both of which were savaged). The parts of Government that most of us would like to see go away, the touchy feely overly intrusive we know better than you how you should live your life crowd mushroomed. Webb is an asshole, but he fits right in with the Dem leadership. No class, no intelligence, no redeeming features, just thugs and bottom feeders.

#20 I thought "fields of fire" was a great book and Webb totally thrashes the lib media and the hippy movement for being enemy enablers. I'm reserving judgement to see what he actually does as a legislator.

Having grown up in LA, I can attest to that. Fast Eddie certainly has more charm than this creep.

#23 He plans to push for a new GI bill for soldiers who have served in the days since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, . Why restrict it to only those that served since Sept 11?

Jeebus, grunt. You're leavin' out a LOT of Redneck country with that comment(GA, SC and TN alone make up a LOT of the South, not to mention KY, northern Missip, a lot of Texas, Arkansas and OK), and including places like southern FL, which is by NO means "Southern," lol!

Me personally? I now draw the "new" Mason-Dixon line based upon whether or not you can get sweet tea at your average restaurant. While northern VA is "northern", I'd suspect that central and southern VA still serves it as sweet as syrup, lol!

By that standard, the Cleveland suburbs are part of the South. Not that I'm complaining, mind you; my wife likes sweet tea.

#26 Don't forget George Allen blew a huge lead by making stupid comments, the last of which was NOT denying his staff released the porno quotes from Webb's books.

Allen shot himself in the foot with the 'machaco' remark, (but the MSM beat it to death), and then in the groin with the porno book thingy.

Poor dimwit was hoping to run for President, too.....

Me? I figure if you can drive Northbound on your local interstate and reach a Waffle House, you might be in the South. ;)

#28 The South is where you can get grits, soda (or RC) instead of pop, hound dogs, sweet tea and where Elvis is still alive.

#29 And cornbread dressing. With lots of sage. Lol.

They do oversweeten the tea, always have, but it's served in flagons large enough to drown mere men, lol.

#30 #8: I always considered anyone north of I-10 a Yankee...

Guess I qualify, by about two miles.
I did emigrate from the North however, came down here to Mobile from Montgomery.

#31 lol, Jim!

Mike, I guess I'd add it's standard in not only your everyday restaurant, but also your "fancy" restaurants. You really know if you can get it at a Waffle House w/in 2 miles of your home. Other criteria include the above listings (RC, Moon Pies, etc.), as well as them serving grits for breakfast, and/or being able to buy pig feet/ears in your local grocery, lol!

#32 We've got a Waffle House on the east side of town by the Interstate, and you can get sweet tea at the Tumbleweeds on the north side as well.

#33 If I were George Bush, Jim Webb would be the first name on my "do not call, do not invite, do not allow to visit" after that little incident. Some people just can't relax and be polite, even in what is obviously a social occasion, rather than a political venue. Webb needs to get waxed six years from now.

#34 Lots of southerners moved to Ohio in the 20th century looking for work. Some were trying to make it to the auto industry in Detroit, but their jalopies would only make it as far as Akron or Cleveland.
