I just came back from the press conference. I have a press kit and a sheave of notes. What I don't have is the time to write you a full description of the event.

What I can tell you is that I am very, very impressed with this man; both with the answers to the questions posed to him by the media and with the dignified manner with which he carried himself.

In lieu of a full description of the press conference, let me instead pass along an invitation from Mudcat Saunders: "Come to Penny Lane Pub tonight at six o'clock!"

O'Neill's Penny Lane Pub
421 E. Franklin
Richmond, VA 23219

I'll be there tonight to help launch Jim Webb's successful campaign for U.S. Senate! Come and join us for a pint!

To borrow my favorite Waldo-ism, feh!  He was quite comfortable in a suit.  It's hard to capture somebody's expression while they're talking.  It's a good photo, but how you got "uncomfortable in a suit" from it I don't know. He's a serious guy, intense: lots of gravitas.

I think he's more comfortable in fatigues, but check out what waldo has to say:

Great photo Waldo!  Now this is what I call a collaborative effort!


Wow, three comments (JC - 4/4/2006 11:33:26 PM)
Wow, three comments already?  I'm going to cross-post more often.

John: I don't know where you can get the text. Hopefully the campaign will post them soon.  Consider going to the Webb site's press page and sending a message to Kristian.

Josh: I will write a full-blown description later.  More importantly, I will try to write an "Uncle J.C." post about tonight at Penny Lane.

Greg: You are right--the conference room was packed with people standing in the hallway.  I saw Corey and Nichole.  Waldo was supposedly there, but I did not see him.  NLS taped the press conference and then took off without saying "hello" (I can't imagine why).

I'm sure there will be plenty of material hitting the wire services within the next hour or so...

JC,  I can't be in Richmond.  I WANT A FULL REPORT FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. 

I want questions!  I want answers!  I want the blow by blow. 

I'm sure I'm not alone.  Give it up, buddy!  Dish!

You're better than this!  I hope green beer comes out of your nose.  ;)

I'm so mad I could spit!  pft!
