Posted at 10:13pm on May 21, 2008 Nutroot Fun in the Old Dominion: Raising Kaine to be Raising Webb?
By Ben Domenech
I won't link there, but you can read about it over at Virginia Virtucon: the thumbnail version? Raising Kaine, the Virginia equivalent of the Daily Kos, is so maddened by Kaine's endorsement of Gerry Connolly in the race to replace Tom Davis that they've actually renamed themselves to just "RK."
What's so bad about Connolly, who from all appearances has a much easier path to victory than the rabid liberal Leslie Byrne (endorsed by Jim Webb)? Why, Connolly's a war profiteer, so Tim Kaine has 'blood drenched hands.'
Kaine is still too much of a stable, sane politician to be a hero for the Nutroots in the longterm, I think. They'd be a lot better off in the long term with Raising Webb as their name. And you'd be better off using this as an opportunity to throw a little love Keith Fimian's way.
This is going to be so much fun if Obama picks Webb. If you don't live in Virginia, you have no idea.

So the left-blogosphere, mainly the Obama supporters, has erupted in characteristically unbounded fury at the questions asked in Wednesday's debate - the fact that so many were pointed questions, the fact that they were heavily tilted towards recent controversies around Obama, the fact that the first 45 minutes of the debate covered those controversies before moving on to debate the candidates' positions on the issues. Obama himself has whined and complained and moaned about the debate and cancelled the next scheduled debate, leaving in doubt whether there will be any further debates even if this race goes on for another six weeks of voting.
