A site for and about the Democratic Party and it's politics (in the spirit of DKos-- I'm an unapolegetic Kossack myself) with the objective of helping to elect as many Democrats as possible in both this year and '08. For and about includes history and how we got here so we can figure out the road map out. And that covers a lot of ground. Add your two cent's worth. No refunds.Be advised this is very much a pro Wes Clark site.

Sen Webbs New Battle

Fresh off his success with the new GI Bill, Virginia Senator Jim Webb is taking on a new issue. And he may be just the right guy to do it. For too long the aproach to the criminal justice system has been adrift, subject to patchwork, feelgood quick fixes that aren't and usually make a bad situation worse. Part of the problem is that too many in the political sphere are afraid of being labeled 'soft' on crime. No one can make that claim against Webb and as such may be able to provide some real momentum towards reform.
