Then you ought to enjoy this one. In an election that is being “closely watched nationally as an off-year referendum on the embattled Bush presidency,” the Republican candidate has a 16-point lead over the Democrat.

And as if that wasn’t enough…

Iraq was cited most often as the race’s top issue. … Webb, 60, a decorated Marine veteran of the Vietnam War and a best-selling author of war novels, has been a persistent critic of the war in Iraq. He left the Republican Party after the war began and campaigns extensively on the issue.

…and he’s losing by 16 points.

1. Apparently Vietnam service and liberalism does not mix. Remind me should I decide to run for office to do so as a conservative.
