Schumer Supports Webb in Virginia Senate Primary Calls Webb “Best Hope” for Defeating Allen
Senator Chuck Schumer today announced his support for the candidacy of Jim Webb in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate in Virginia calling the veteran, author and former Naval Secretary the Democratic Party’s “best hope” for defeating George Allen in November.
“With Jim Webb as the Democratic nominee in Virginia we have an opportunity to give George Allen a real run for his money. He’s our best hope for defeating Allen in November,” said Schumer. “Jim’s a real fighter – He has the experience, energy and commitment to make this a winnable race. He’ll be devoted to serving the people of Virginia from day one.”
"Larry Sabato, a political analyst and political science professor at the University of Virginia, said, "If Democrats are listening, this says loud and clear that if Webb is the winner, the national people are going to put substantial money into Virginia and if Webb loses, best of luck to Virginia Democrats…. This is as dramatic as it gets."
The choice is between Webb or Allen. If Miller wins the primary...it will be a waste of time and energy for the Virginia Democratic Party, ending with an acceptance speech by Allen.
