This is an amazing success story. I was especially impressed by Webb's understanding of how the definitions of Democrat and Republican are changing.

Unfortunately, I regret to have to say that some of the leaders of the Democrats in Virginia just don't get this. I am getting reports from some prominent Progressives who have been doing great things for the Democratic candidates that they are being snubbed, and even verbally abused when they try to work with some of these persons (I'm not going to mention any names)within the Democratic Party. I can assure you that the cases I have heard of have not been provoked by the Progressives. It's a real shame.

And the hits just keep rolling in.  Jim populist stance about economic fairness hits home with everyone, black or white. A great article and ends up treating Jim real well.

And I just realizes where I knew Mac from.  He worked at Toosie's Bar in Nashville.  It's an old Nashville landmark with a long history of being the watering hole for well-known country musicians. I've been stopping in there for years when I'm down there working.  Though probably more a tourist attraction these days, if you go there and have a few drinks, you might just catch a glimpse of the ghost of Hank Williams.  Well, it helps if you have more than a few.

That is a very good article....like the last line says "I hope people are paying attention."  (and not just to slick campaign adds.)

Wait, I'm going to vomit.

Had it gone in the right post ;-)  Even the best of em have a bad day ;-)

Really enjoyed the article.  Everyone should read it.

I'm sitting here listening to bunches of laughter over this story... can't wait to read it!
