I don't have the time for a full fighting Dem write up, only to note that tonight's edition (9:20 p.m. ET) will feature
Jim Webb running for senate in Virginia.
I am extremely excited about his candidacy and I'll be taking a bigger role promoting it in the coming months.
People think that because Webb was a former Navy secretary under Reagan, and because he speaks, at least rhetorically, favorably about that era, that he is somehow a right-wing Democrat. Anyone who thinks that will be pleasently surprised over the next several months. Webb is the real deal and a real progressive.
Not only can we abort the budding presidential candidacy of Sen. George Allen (who is bored of being a senator and wishes he was born in Iowa), but this seat will be essential to our chances of capturing the Senate. And it's doable.
