There has been a lot of talk lately about how terrible Don Beyer is. Folks all over the progressive blogosphere are all of a sudden taking potshots at him, and for what?
He's not on our side in this primary, that's all.
Granted, I don't agree with what he said, but, hey, we all have our opinions (It's my opinion that he's wrong, but that's another story). Don Beyer is still one of the best Democrats around, and, once Jim Webb has won this primary, I'm sure he'll support him.
I would like in two years to vote for Don Beyer for the U.S. Senate. Let's not keep taking cheap shots at him until he loses interest in another campaign.
And by the way, how would a Webb-Beyer Senate team sound to you? Sounds like music to my ears...

I'm not knocking Don personally, and he's certainly entitled to his opinion: but he's dead wrong about Harris Miller being the right person to take on George Allen.
With all due respect Mr. Beyer, you are wrong.
I would like in two years to vote for Don Beyer for the U.S. Senate.
Me too.
You won't see me attacking any of the politicians who endorsed Webb; after all, I may be voting for Chap Peterson next year.
One election at a time.
Neal, I have seen no one attack Don. I have seen people attack his comment, and I do think that comment will hurt any future campaign.
I don't know; The Perseverando photoshop picture looked as much an attack on his comment as on him in general.
And we don't need a circular firing squad.
Well let me add my two pennies worth.
If someone is "knocking" what Beyer said, how is that any different than Byer "knocking" Webb?!?
Hey, we're all entitled to our "opinions," including thinly veiled "attacks."
Ideally, nobody should be knocking anybody else. It's counterproductive to the American politcal process. We should be able to win this thing on the positives, and on what we're for. Like I've said, a circular firing squad is absolutely detrimental to this campaign.
