Tom Davis is the guy who subpoenaed Terri Schiavo in 2005. He was the next guy to be investigated in the Tom DeLay “Pay to Play” political scandal but Dennis Hastert fired the Ethics Committee members and Alberto Gonzales fired the Attorneys General who would have investigated it. He also helped cover up the Walter Reed hospital scandal. http://www.tomdavistruth.com

Thanks, VA.

I’m not sure I’d consider Webb a libertarian in any sense of the word. At least I haven’t seen any evidence of it yet.

Jim Webb is not, by the way, a typical Northern Virginia Democrat. He was, after all, a Republican back in the day.

Doug,

What kind of Democrat?

Jim Webb populist or Hillary Clinton/B. Obama socialist?

Kevin,

Tom Davis and Frank Wolf are, quite frankly, pretty representative of the general political direction Northern Virginia is taking. If and when one of them resigns, I will not be at all surprised to see one of those seats go to a Democrat, and not the good kind of Democrat either.

Doug,

Is there any hope of replacing these two truly pathetic Congresscritters?

Kevin,

Before the 11th District was created after the 1990 Census (the seat that Davis fills now), my Congressman was Frank Wolf.

Doug,

It could be worse, your Congressman could be Frank Wolf.

Jason,

You should have seen who he replaced.

It could be worse, though, the rumor right now is that if John Warner does not run for re-election in 2008, although he says he will, Davis will run for the Republican nomination. That would be interesting because, while he may do well here in Northern Virginia, I don’t think he’ll go over well in the rest of the state.

Given our enormous population advantage, though, he may not have to do well in the rest of the state to win.
