"Darth Vader vs. Luke Skywalker" (Webb for VA Senate)

[Catchawave]

from Jim Webb's Campaign Manager, email:

Dear ......,


I wanted to write today to tell you about Saturday's debate -- our first of many with George Felix Allen. From the outset it was clear that while Allen was nervous and seemingly unwilling to answer questions directly, Jim was senatorial and showed a strong command of the issues. Even reporters were commenting to me afterward about how solid Jim's performance was and how nervous and unresponsive George Allen seemed to be. The dominant conclusion was that George Allen sure has his hands full, and this is a serious race.

Instead of focusing on the issues, George Allen resorted to name-calling, bizarrely referring to Jim as R2D2 from Star Wars. Well if Allen wants to pin his campaign to Star Wars, I can think of far better movie references: Jim Webb as Luke Skywalker and George Allen as Darth Vader.

We need you to be the force that elects Jim Webb and kicks George Felix Allen and his cowboy boots out of office. Please contribute today -- our "Contest Every County" fundraising drive ends in 1 week!

At Saturday's debate, Jim Webb once again proved he has the leadership, experience, and background to effectively lead Virginia into a new era of government effectiveness and accountability.

As for George Felix Allen... well let's just say the dark side of the force isn't so pretty.

Allen refused to introduce Jim's new GI bill in Congress, using the irrelevant excuse that the Senate is too slow and "moves at the pace of a wounded sea slug." In addition, the bored Senator didn't even know the current GI Bill is for peace time.

When discussing the economic struggles caused by rising fuel costs, all Allen could say was gas prices were "not great."

Finally, Allen was quick to talk about the amazing promise of stem cells, remarking that some day his knees could be regenerated. Yet just last week Allen voted against the stem cell research bill -- a bill that Nancy Reagan and Senator John Warner supported -- and flip-flopped from his own original position to pander to Presidential primary voters. I am sure those folks confined to a wheel chair because of a spinal cord injury or someone suffering from Parkinson's have a much different timeline than some day.

Let's be real. This is not leadership. As Jim said on Saturday, when two people agree with each other 97 percent of the time, as George Felix Allen and George W. Bush do, one of them doesn't need a job.

Help us get rid of the bored, flip-flopping, ineffective junior Senator from Virginia. Contribute to our campaign to elect Jim Webb -- a real leader -- today!
