Interesting “Meet the Press” yesterday. As regulars around here know, I worked independently, but very hard, to get James Webb elected to the Senate, though it was the local activists that made it happen. So whenever he’s out and speaking I’m listening. He was terrific Sunday.

“No president in history has vetoed a benefits bill for those who served. … The Republican party is on the block here, to clearly demonstrate that they value military service or suffer the consequences of losing the support of people who’ve served. … The president has a choice here to show how much he values military service.” – Senator James Webb
