Reply #33: Really? I thought he came across better than expected. [View All]

Apparently, he became unprofessional right after the taping when he was talking to the press, and told Miller to "shut his mouth". I did notice that he was slouching -- he had his leg straight out under the table. Harris Miller was actually the one to make the debate more combative, when he threw in why Webb had endorsed * and Allen in '00. Miller is quite agressive, even if he comes across as a nerdy accountant. Miller was at his best talking about getting Americans the skills they need to compete against the world (he was FAR more specific than Webb's extremely vague answers). The one thing Webb mentioned which piqued my interest was that his son was going to Ramadhi in September -- I have to admit, that would be interesting having a senator whose son was in harm's way in Iraq. He could shut up a lot of the wingers real quick real fast.

Anyway, don't let these positive comments get you worried. I'm still a committed Miller voter, but I've decided that if Webb wins the primary I will vote for him in the general (but not volunteer, no way), and will consider my vote to be for his son, who will already be in Iraq come November.

And, just to tap into my Virginia instincts -- we can probably look forward to seeing Barfbag at SFRC hearings come January. Mr. Football is a lot smoother than Webb or Miller, so I predict he will win comfortably.
