Today, Jim Webb was endorsed by yet ANOTHER Democratic U.S. Senator. This time, it was Debbie Stabenow of Michigan, who "made history in 2000 when she became the first woman from the State of Michigan elected to the United States Senate." Ironically, Stabenow (pictured to the left with a young woman who is, purely by coincidence and certainly not by any conscious or subconscious choice on my part, extremely attractive...ha) defeated none other than Spencer Abraham, about whom Harris Miller said: "I+óGé¼Gäóm doing everything I can to get him re-elected" (Harris Miller, Orlando Business Journal 10/20/00). Ha!
Anyway, Stabenow today endorsed Jim Webb, saying:
Jim Webb has the background and the passion for public service to beat George Allen and serve Virginia well in the U.S. Senate. He'll be a great addition to the Senate and to our Democratic caucus.
Nice. Keep 'em coming!

Lowell, are you saying that someone who worked closely with Harris Miller on their own re-election campaign, LOST, and now their replacement is endorsing Webb? FASCINATING!!!!
