Powerful! Jim Webb spoke for me!

[Morereason]

Absolutely awesome! I understand that Jim tore up the "prepared remarks" because he wanted to speak his mind in truth. He spoke honestly and powerfully. He spoke as a populist. He brought forward the plight of the Middle class succinctly, and educated the country in the lessons of History. He called the morass in Iraq what is was and put the blame where it rests!

I did not know much of Jim Webb, but today he has earned my deep respect.

God Bless Jim Webb,

His words bespoke LEADERSHIP. May the timid in our party follow his example!

1. He's a natural born leader. One to watch....

2. Knocked it completely out of the ballpark. A spade is still a spade in Jim Webb's world.

3. I never heard him speak before. I was impressed He spoke form the heart, IMHO.

7. I could tell it was hard for him at one point

when he talked about his dad and then his brother and his son. He fought through his emotions, and delivered a knockout punch.

Bravo, Senator.

8. He did a great job on economic issues

9. I doubt that he tore up the remarks

let's not lose sight of the reality of televised politics now.

10. It was nice after decades of DLCentric warmed over plain yogurt blah.

Did I say that out loud?
:dilemma:


Even the misses was impressed, and she is not interested in the machinations and strategery of politics in any sense of the meaning.


Populism 1
Centrism 0

11. Kudos to whoever picked Webb to give the response.

The right man with the right speech. A straight talking decorated veteran and father of a Marine in Iraq following George W. Bush a proven liar who has never put duty to his country ahead of duty to himself.

Beautiful, Senator Webb, just beautiful.

12. I wonder who makes that call?

Anyone know?

13. I bet Pelosi was involved

I trust Nancy's judgement on both strategy and tactics.
