George Allen must really be getting desperate as his lead over Webb in the Senate race has vanished: he is citing Jim Webb’s opposition to women in combat as something voters should hold against him and on account of things he has written in the past on this topic he is accusing him of “misogyny.”  I am doubtful that reminding voters of Webb’s views on this matter will hurt him in a state with a large military population.  The real question is: why does Allen want to encourage more Republicans to vote for Webb?
