I like what Harris Miller has to say about public education and campaign/election reform better, but I like what Jim Webb has to say about worker’s rights and foreign policy better. I find Miller to be a more polished politician, with very detailed policies on a variety of topics, and I find Webb’s lack of polish on appealing too. I firmly believe that both of these men have the ability to oust George Allen in November General Election. I remain very optimistic on my feeling that the American voter has awakened to the manipulation of the Republican party and will throw the bums out with a vengeance this November.

Exactly why he's an incredibly strong candidate. Bringing Reagan Democrats back the party (working class folks) is the only way the Dems are going to retake the majority.

“Webb used to be a Republican – a reagan appointee..”

Exactly why he’s an incredibly strong candidate. Bringing Reagan Democrats back the party (working class folks) is the only way the Dems are going to retake the majority.

Webb stands ready to accept them. Miller is their anti-christ…

I'd have left it in, but you used a bogus addess. Truth is, what Dave says is right. Webb used to be Republican, a Reagan appointee no less. I'll be very interested to hear Webb talk about that turn-around. Dave, I took the liberty of omitting the profanity in your otherwise very poignant comment, then approved it.

As I have repeatedly pointed out on my blog, The Modern Patriot, on RK and on RD, Miller's experience in "business" is his employment as a lobbyist for anti-union and pro-offshore outsourcing business groups. He is neither a "tech executive" nor a "technology leader". Miller has been condemned by both union and non-union opponents of worker replacement programs. His activities have been the source of scholarly criticism and Congressional testimony. While I agree that Miller can speak convincingly on a variety of subjects, this hardly explains his role in the deliberate replacement of American workers with low wage foreign replacements, the deliberate misrepresentations he has made re. offshore outsourcing and the ficticious claims of "labor shortages" used to import foreign "business visa" workers in the high tech sector. I urge you to reconsider your present support of Harris Miller or, at the very least, do further investigation. I would be quite happy to discuss the matter further with you via email.

He looked to me like a suit full of 45%. A lot of his positions are tempting to progressives, but he can't win and he knows it. He's told plenty of people privately that he can't win and is just trying to carry the flag and slow Allen down on his way to a White House run. James Webb is running to win and he's the one the GOP is scared of. If you want to cheer on a laundry list of pet issues, vote for Harris Miller. If you want to add a seat to the Democratic caucus in the Senate, vote for James Webb. I saw Harris Miller speak in Lynchburg and I was completely underwhelmed.

You should go back as I did and look at the past actions, views, and lobbying stances Miller has taken. With Dems like him, who needs republicans. Unfortunately for those that have started to pay attention as of late, Miller's stances on many of his most unsvory actions/views have changed 180 degrees only in the past few months. Webb is the true progressive with integrity to match. Oh yeah GO WEbb!

Though I wasn't there for Miller due to a previous commitment, I can say that the house was packed for Judy Feder.
