Senator Webb

One of the public officials I most admired during 2007 was Virginia's junior U.S. senator, Jim Webb. I did not vote for him, for I always had voted for Republican George Allen, even though I am a lifelong Democrat. But if I am still alive and living in Virginia and Senator Webb seeks a second term in the U.S. Senate, I plan to vote for him.

He gets my support because he truly stands for the underdog and does not suffer fools gladly. By nature, temperament and background, he is a fighter. He comes from stock who exhibited the same qualities. He is a wonderful U.S. senator and I would love to see him on the national Democratic ticket one day.
