Allen Vs. Webb

The Senate race in Virginia is quite strange, according to this article. James Webb, the Democrat in the race, might be too conservative for me; at least, his style of conservatism seems abrasive. His positions remind me of Pat Buchanan’s – isolationist, angry about illegal immigration, economic populism. It’s hard to tell in advance whether things like this are one-off oddities or harbingers of realignments.
