The next question was directed at Webb and asked about his flip flops on his past support for George Allen and for his past opposition to Bill Clinton and Chuck Robb. In my opinion, this is where Webb loses the election. Here are the audio clips in question:
These aren’t the statements of an independent or Democrat. If anything, these statements earn Jim Webb a membership card, the decoder ring and the secret handshake of the vast right-wing conspiracy. Virginians will hear these clips over and over and over again as we get closer to November. Webb dodged answering this question on Saturday by saying he likes Allen personally and would enjoy having a beer with him. I don’t think the “George Allen is a good drinking buddy, but not a senator” defense is going to fly.
