Jim Webb has a new ad that hits Sen Allen (R-VA) on Iraq. Check it out:

As a Marine serving in Vietnam, Webb won the Navy Cross, the Silver Star Medal, two Bronze Star Medals, and two Purple Hearts. As Reagan's Secretary of the Navy, he served with distinction, ultimately resigning his post in protest over congressionally mandated cuts in the Navy's force structure. No doubt Allen is going to try and accuse Webb of wanting to "cut and run," but with a record like that it will never work.

And while we're talking about Webb, let;'s talk about Obama, because a few days back he was in Virginia stumping for Webb. Check this out:

If he runs in 2008, he wins. If I had a farm, I would be willing to bet it on this. Watch this entire video. Obama starts strong, but about 3 minutes in he hits his groove, and it is really amazing to watch. He understands crowd dynamics in a way you rarely ever see in politics. One minute he's got the crowd screaming and shouting, the next he brings them down and gets them thinking, only to turn right back around and get them on their feet again. He knows when to break things down, and he knows when to build them back up. If I didn't know better, I'd say he was either a preacher or a DJ in a past life.
