How does a freshman senator that won his election by a fluke get picked to give the official Democratic response to the presidential State of the Union? From where I sit, it's an inexplicable choice, but a brilliant one. This is a dynamite speech! read it here

cakmpls, you should find it particularly interesting, as it seems to speak directly to your post a few days ago about workers and wages. (Do you think Senator Webb is reading your LJ???)

"We've established a tone of cooperation and consensus that extends beyond party lines. We're working to get the right things done, for the right people and for the right reasons."
