Yet another excellent move by Jim Webb (cycle12 - 11/28/2006 9:20:59 PM)
Don't know Paul Reagan from Adam, but he's got an impressive resume' and, since Jim Webb chose him, he must be the best possible person for the job.

Congratulations, Paul!  As I told another confirmed Webb staffer a few days ago, you are about to embark on the ride of your life with a Senator who is poised to be one of the best in recent U. S. history.

We're expecting great things out of all of you, and I'm sure we won't be disappointed.

Again; congratulations one and all!

Steve



That Is A Great Resume (PM - 11/28/2006 9:23:18 PM)
I have a feeling our Senator-elect is not going to have any trouble attracting highly qualified applicants.


Go Wm&M!! (Matt in VA - 11/28/2006 10:24:01 PM)
