Webb Says Obama OK for Gun Owners

In a powerful endorsement video, Sen. Jim Webb, D-Va., gets personal about his family connection to hunting and shooting.

There is a genuineness to this video, dubbed “Barns for Obama: Virginia,” that allows gun-toting Democrat Webb’s endorsement of Obama to sink in more deeply than the average I-support-this-guy-and-you-should-too video. The only question, has Congress spent enough on rural broadband lines yet so people in Southwestern Virginia will see this video?



Retiring Sen. John Warner, R-Va., also stepped up his campaigning for McCain this week, recording a radio ad aimed at Hampton Roads voters. He warns if Democrats are left in charge, they will cut military funding that will weaken the Virginia economy.
