        Republican disgised as a Democrat wins. Watch out November.
        \_ talking about disgise.  You should really go to Taiwan and
           take a look.  Candidates of DPP are removing the DPP party logos,
           many of them are getting rid of the party-color of green in
           their campaign banners, posters, and ads.  Very interesting.
           \- Yeah, it's pretty clever how the RNC sent him "deep undercover"
              by having him publicly denounce the Iraq war and mock W's
              Vietnam War "service". This was clearly written by KROVE
              and just signed by JWEBB ...
                  Recent statements defending Bush claim that the
                  National Guard was not a haven for those who wished
                  to avoid Vietnam; but it clearly was ... Bush used
                  his father's political influence to move past many
                  on the Texas Guard's waiting list ... Bush arguably
                  has committed the greatest strategic blunder in
                  modern memory ... The reckless course that Bush and
                  his advisers have set will affect the economic and
                  military energy of our nation for decades. It is
                  only the tactical competence of our military that,
                  to this point, has protected him from the harsh
                  judgment that he deserves ... At the same time,
                  those around Bush, many of whom came of age during
                  Vietnam and almost none of whom served, have
                  attempted to assassinate the character and insult
                  the patriotism of anyone who disagrees with
                  them. Some have impugned the culture, history and
                  integrity of entire nations, particularly in Europe,
                  that have been our country's great friends for
                  generations and, in some cases, for centuries. Bush
                  has yet to fire a single person responsible for this
                  strategy. Nor has he reined in those who have made
                  irresponsible comments while claiming to represent
                  his administration. One only can conclude that he
                  agrees with both their methods and their message.
                                   --James Webb, Feb. 2004.

RICHMOND, Virginia (AP) -- James Webb, a former Reagan administration Navy secretary who left the Republican Party over the Iraq war, won the Democratic nomination Tuesday to take on GOP Sen. Webb defeated lobbyist and longtime Democratic Party activist Harris Miller after a bruising primary in which voters decided between a traditional and unabashed liberal (Miller) and a former Republican (Webb) whose populist campaign was aimed at so-called Reagan Democrats -- namely, rural, white moderates. With 87 percent of precincts reporting, Webb had 73,031 votes, or 54 percent, compared with 61,566 votes, or 46 percent, for Miller. Except for the Washington suburbs, turnout was paltry across Virginia, a state unaccustomed to primaries. Allen is seeking a second term and also pursuing a 2008 bid for president. Four other states also held elections Tuesday, including primaries for governor in Maine and South Carolina; a Democratic runoff for the nomination for lieutenant governor in Arkansas; and referendums on constitutional amendments in North Dakota. In Virginia, both Democratic candidates sought to tie Allen tightly to Bush, particularly over Iraq. But Webb was seen by some as having particular credibility on military issues because of his background as a decorated Marine lieutenant in Vietnam and later Navy secretary. Webb underscored the point by campaigning in desert combat boots. Webb, 60, referred to Miller in a televised debate as "the anti-Christ of outsourcing," claiming that Miller, as a lobbyist for a major Internet-industry organization, helped drive technology jobs overseas. Also, a Webb flier contained a caricature of Miller with a hooked nose and cash spilling from his pockets. Miller, who is Jewish, called the brochure "despicable"; Webb, who endorsed Allen six years ago, said support from senior Senate Democrats was important to his victory. "Everywhere I went, I had to face a room where people wondered if I really was a Democrat," Webb said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. Miller put nearly $1 million of his own money into the campaign and outspent Webb by more than a 2-to-1 ratio. Mark Sanford easily defeated a political newcomer for the nomination for another term. Tommy Moore and Florence Mayor Frank Willis were the heavyweights. The state's GOP primary for lieutenant governor was energized by news that incumbent Andre Bauer at least twice avoided speeding tickets -- once after he was caught going more than 100 mph. Bauer's chief opponent, Mike Campbell, is the son of Carroll Campbell, a popular former governor. In Maine, two little-known Democrats competed for the chance to take on two-term Republican Sen. John Baldacci easily prevailed against a little-known computer specialist. In Arkansas, a runoff was held to determine the Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor. In North Dakota, voters considered two proposed constitutional amendments -- one that would remove gender, age and residency references in the constitution's definition of state militia, the other to give the Legislature more authority to regulate how corporate shareholders vote for boards of directors.
