Senate Debate

OK. So all right blogs will say Allen won, all lefty will say Webb won. So naturally I think Allen won. Actually, "winning" a debate is hard, because its defined as how terrible your opponent was. Anyways, I thought Allen was excellent tonight. He did go over, but Webb never seriously challenged him, made some assinine question aimed to set Allen up and then never followed through. Allen was poised, on message, and clear. Webb stammered hawed through many of his answers. When Allen would talk specifics, Webb would either say (a) its George Bush's fault, or (b) John Warner likes me, too.

Webb was much better on Meet The Press, but I think the months of attack have sharpened Allen's wits and gotten him more focused. Its the best I've seen Allen this campaign.
