and bring that book.  What a great way to drum up interest (and hopefully votes) for Webb.

Oh, and I hope you charged them a dollar in rent for allowing them to read your book :-)

with book and guitar!  I would love to do that, and belt out the Webb campaign song I co-wrote with my friend Sue...

Wouldn't it be great if Virginia had a Senator that had the proven ability to research and analyze dense bits of information and make reasoned accurate judgements about the best course of action?

Someone that had looked deeply and spoken strongly about the folly of invading Iraq - before it happened?

Someone that had a fine job and a good life, but determined that a lack of Executive leadership, and poor Senate representation compelled him to step forward to service?

James Webb.

(Has incumbent Senator George Felix Allen ever researched and written about anything? Something? ) 

We plan on getting one capable of doing just that.  He should be in his new office in early January 2007.

Allen's learning to swallow, instead of spitting.

Tobacco, people, tobacco.

Minds out of the gutters, now. :)

Can we go to a state board of elections office and get a dozen voter registration forms so when we find such potential voters, we can hand them a form on the spot? Or is this something the campaign office can do?

We can do that... Robin and Jeff are working with that if you want to help :)

That's a great idea.

Anyone can get forms from the local registrar and assist someone with completing the form.  It's best to ask them to do it while you're there to check it over...people always seem to leave out something or forget to sign.  Offer to turn it in for them, again, so it won't be forgotten.  I carry a stack of forms with me in the car, and never mind returning them to the correct registrar to be sure they get there.  Just be sure you're registering Webb voters and not the opponent!

So, this was all planned, no towel, lend the book as deposit. You know now to work a room Ingrid. kc.

that Ingrid is everybody's favorite elected official in Arlington. Not only does she have grace and chutzpah, but she knows how to bring others to seeing her side in the face of adversity.

Great story, great book, great candidate! Thanks for sharing.

One vote at a time, that's how we're going to turn VA blue permanently.

on separation of church and state.  We are off until Thursday at 9 AM. 

If you contacted me, we could have dinner in Charlottesville or someplace in between

email is kber at earthlink dot net

you should have my cell  but I am not going to post it  (duh)

let me know

with some of my colleagues.  I forgot to mention that I wrote on the "freedom wall" (is that what it's called?) on the down town mall in C'ville.  What a wonderful idea!  I wrote one line about ten times on every side of the wall.  Guess what I wrote... :-)

I'd also like to congratulate Ingrid on making lemonade out of lemons.
I think most may have felt a little hassled with the $1 deposit for the towel and the back and forth that ensued - but Ingrid handled it with class AND turned someone on to Webb.
Perfect.

as a visiting member, and there was no charge for a towel.  And none of the staff I spoke to had any knowledge of this actually occurring.

But it's a great story anyway.  ;-)

Were you the guy who needed my help with your bench press?  The one who had a problem lifting 95 pounds?  The gentleman at the counter actually recognized me from Monday's book incident.  Btw: it was a pleasure helping you with your workout!

Look, from now on when you all come to Charlottesville, please let me know and maybe we can go to lunch?

Let me announce here that I will be in Roanoke the first week of August.  If anybody here on RK lives in the Roanoke area, please let me know, and maybe we can meet for lunch...

This Senate race is pretty well-matched, if you think about it:

Webb -- wrote 6 books in his life (so far)
Allen -- has probably read about 6 books in his life

Foxes in the Henhouse, too?  It's much more powerful than I expected.
