Webb's Name, Face, Becoming Familiar to Nation
Virginia's newly-elected junior Senator has a personality that has been described as combative and standoffish. But since he offered the Democratic response to the President's State of the Union address last month, Jim Webb's has been a popular name in newspapers and an often-seen face on television. What's driving the media's fascination with the Senator? Michael D. Shear looks at the phenomenon today in his Virginia Notebook column.

Webb is a real leader, not just another lying politician.

The question is, which face of Webb is becoming familiar?

Senator Webb appears quirky, odd, cold, aloof, combative and standoff-ish all at the same time. Perhaps those same qualities make him entertaining, too?

I think that Webb comes across as arrogant. He boasted about being in the Dept. of Defense when in reality he was in that position for approx. 4 mos!! Then he was taken out. I think that the Dems are so set in making VA a blue state, that they feel the need to publicize Webb. They may be sorry. Thank you.
PS: have you read his books about the female cadets by chance??

With Webb, we FINALLY have a leader in Washington and the people and press are recognizing that.
