I couldn’t believe that either - I was in shock the day he was declared the winner.

This was a man who was brave enough to win the Navy Cross and yet had not the moral courage to say 'no' to an evil President.

A very sad ending indeed to a man who started so well.

Not until he finishes grinding that unholy piece of crap into the ground. Plus we’d like to have him as governor for a while, then we will share him with the rest of the country.

Personally I don’t believe he thought he would win. By all rights he shouldn’t have. He just didn’t know what to do with the office once he got it. That made him a useful idiot for the left. No compass, led around like a pig with a ring in his nose.

The Webb Senate seat was one of a string of Democrat “thefts” that allowed them to get to the magic number of 60. Some of the others being Ted Stevens seat in Alaska (one of the most heinous thefts ever), the Coleman seat in Minnesota (stolen by Al Franken), and the Spector switch in Pennsylvania. We are still suffering from the effects of this ugly drive to 60 - wrecked economy, Obamacare, huge deficits.

Exactly.

He should have said no, realizing that he was not cut out for politics. He may be a good combat Marine and military novel writer, but he appears to be a terrible (Democratic) politician, a loner uncomfortable in the job.
