Jim Webb's victory tonight is a victory for Virginia's netroots. Virginia's progressive blogosphere was not thrilled with the default candidate emerging earlier this year. So, spearheaded by Lowell and many others, they drafted a Reagan Republican with a stellar resume to run as a Democrat and propelled him to victory in the primary.
My, how far we in the activist Netroots have fallen. With Brad Miller's refusal to run in the North Carolina Senate race, it's time to admit that we have a full-fledged blogosphere recruitment disaster on our hands for the 2008 Senate races -- and to ask why it happened, and how we can avoid such an event in the future.
