JPod – I find your position interesting on this. You came to the defense of Michael J. Fox’s ad on stem cell research, saying politics ain’t beanbag. But when the Allen campaign zings Webb on his fiction, you sigh that your “embarrassed to be on the Right.” I’m sympathetic to the idea that one can way overread Webb’s fiction as a reflection on the man’s qualifications as Senator. But I’m just curious as to why you think one is beyond the pale and the other is just good old fashioned politics?
