Draft James Webb for Senate 2006

[AlecBGreen]

We need a Dem candidate to beat George "less-than-worthless" Allen in 2006. To quote Raising Kaine's blog - That man would be former Navy Secretary James Webb.



This guy is extremely impressive: first in his class at the Marine Corps Officer’s Basic School in Quantico, Virginia; earned the Navy Cross, the Silver Star Medal, two Bronze Star Medals, and two Purple Hearts in Vietnam; has a JD from Georgetown University; has written six best-selling novels; has even won an Emmy Award as a journalist. Who wouldn’t want THAT resume? Also, this is also a man who has spoken out against the Iraq war at least since September 2002, when he asked the question, “Do we really want to occupy Iraq for the next 30 years?” Smart guy!

--end snip--

He would be a great candidate and we need everyone to contact him and urge him to run. This is a great year for Democrats and George is definitely beatable. Help us get a solid candidate here in Virginia. Please sign the petition and/or email him at [email protected]

2. Alec, any word on his stepping up to the plate.

It is pretty sad when we have nobody to run against such horrible Republicans. Have you heard if the Dems are going to run anyone against Eric Cantor in the 7th?
