[Rhodes22-list] Political - Book Report

[Rob Lowe]

Brad,
Thanks.  I think I will have to check it out.

Heads up on another book I just read about.  Senator Jim Webb from Virginia
has just had published a new book.
http://www.amazon.com/Time-Fight-Reclaiming-Fair-America/dp/0767928350

I'm proud to have him as my Senator from the Commonwealth of Virginia.  Not
your typical politician.  He's now sponsored legislation in the Senate to
give veterans expanded educational opportunities, which the Bush
administration is opposing.

I know you've speculated on running mates and such for the upcoming
election.  Our local paper is suggesting Webb might be a potential VP
candidate.  It would make some sense.   He has the military background the
neither the Democrats have to counter McCain's service and would help
attract blue collar voters that Barrack seems to have some trouble with.
While I would hate to loose him as a Senator, I certainly see the intrigue.
We shall see. - rob

Rob,

I finished it just before leaving.  Some of it is a re-hash of articles he
has published on his website over the years but good none-the-less. Yon is
pretty objective but as a former Special Forces guy and having spent so much
time with the troops, he's susceptible to cheer leading on their behalf.
That said, he's objective about the politics.  You'll enjoy the book!
