I just read Congressman Webbs Op Ed.
I nominate and vote for president for 2008.
I know it's a little premature but...
Holy crap this guy has the stuff IMHO!...and besides...look who's leading us now.

3. You're right of course he IS a Senator but technically
he is also a Congressman. It's unusual as Reps are usually called Congressmen persons
and Senators are called Sentors but this article uses the term 'Congressman.'
Different huh?

5. It's protocol
Elected officials and political appointees aren't addressed by their titles until after they're sworn in.

Until that time, they're addressed as Senator-elect, Congressman-elect, President-elect, Ambassador-elect, etc.

:hi:
