Ben Tribbett, founder and editor of the Not Larry Sabato blog, and best known for breaking the "macaca" story prior to release of the video in the Washington Post on Monday, August 14, 2006, speaks about the "Netroots Rising" and specifically about the beginning of the Draft James Webb movement. Please see the Netroots Rising website for part 1 of the interview I conducted with Ben on April 17, 2007 in Springfield, Virginia.

Cheap Whores? (Harry Landers - 7/18/2008 5:08:14 PM)
For example, someone like Don Beyer, who was a close friend of Harris and had gotten major cash from him when he ran statewide, I totally understand why he needed to support Harris. On the other hand, all the Delegates and Senators who had gotten $250 or $500 from Harris- or even hoped to- and then endorsed him... those are the cheap whores. It's hard to respect someone willing to sell out the future of their country and troops overseas for $250.

I'm reminded of the old story about the fellow who asked a woman if she'd be willing to have sex with him for $1,000,000. It didn't take long for her to agree. He then asked if she'd have sex with him for $20, and she replied "Do you think I'm some kind of whore?"

The response? "We've already established that. Now, we just negotiating the price."
