Major Endorsement For Webb

Washington Post Endorses James Webb:

"James Webb wears combat boots to honor his son who is serving in Iraq. A war he never believed was worth fighting. He told George Allen so, too. But when he wouldn't listen, Webb saddled up and got ready for the ride of his life, running against George Allen for Senate. Webb is finally getting the support he has earned.

We have a few things in common, the Irish and Scottish decent, as well as family members that have fought in wars.

In a stunning piece of great news, the Washington Post endorsed James Webb over incumbent Senator George Allen yesterday. It was fantastic to see.

I can relate to this: Over the course of his career, in books and more recently in screenplays, Webb, 60, has been writing about the dignity of his people -- the gun-loving, country-music-singing, working-class whites of Scotch-Irish descent who fight in wars, staff the nation's factories and shop its Wal-Marts. One caveat, we shop at CostCo, not Wal-Mart..."
