Jim Webb, definately. Webb is a navy veteran, who served as Secretary of the Navy under the Reagan Administration. He later wrote several books and produced a major motion picture, all military related. He is now entering politics again because he is unhappy with the incompetence of the Bush military strategy, and the Bush yes-man who represents him in the Senate. George Allen is nothing more than a racist idiot who votes however Bush tells him.
