On policy, he's to the Right of the National Republican Party. I'd be interested to see your opinion in more detail. He's a Rep I kinda worry about, most from that wing have put their foot in their mouth where they aren't electable.

Not that I would be too happy with it.

Dino. I admire Webb for taking out maccaca, but pro wall street, increase military, anti DADT & DOMA, etc... I would support Huntsman over him.

Webb has decide to retire for number of reasons. He not going back into the game. He would have easy won a second term if he didn't decide to retire.

Watch out for both VA senators next time around though.
