In the past week, the Allen campaign has taken aim at Mr. Webb on two counts: highlighting his opposition, in an article he wrote 27 years ago, to women in combat and at the Naval Academy, and asserting that Mr. Webb has no right to use videotape of President Ronald Reagan praising him in a new television advertisement. ~The New York Times

So Allen thinks it is cunning politics to point out to Virginians, who live in a state with one of largest military populations in the country and the major east coast naval base, that Webb used to oppose women being in combat and that President Reagan spoke favourably of Webb when Webb was Secretary of the Navy?  Whose vote is he trying to win?  The feminists of Hampton Roads? 

I will make my first Bold Prediction of the election year: Webb wins the election by 3 points.
