...only to be scared off by three liberals back home?His Presidential aspirations were ended by:
Anderson Cooper not giving him enough time during the Debate
Debbie Wasserman-Schultz not giving him enough attention in the Primaries, and
Alec Baldwin making fun of him on Saturday Night live?

Again, DWS is no liberal. For one thing, liberals don't endorse Republicans in elections just because they go to the same politician parties or whatever the heck DWS's reasons were for endorsing Republicans. Also, given a choice between being a member of the Progressive Caucus, or being a member of the New Democrat Coalition or not being affiliated with either of those, DWS chose to be a member of the New Democrat Coalition.
That said, Webb is bsing. When the Democratic Party was a lot closer to its New Deal roots than it is now, he chose to be a Republican and remained one until he got an opportunity to unseat Allen.
Yes, Webb can be wrong about some things and right about others, just like every other human being. Imagine that.

Dakota Meyer didn't "win" the MOH either.
He received it for gallantry in battle, like Sen. Webb did to earn his Navy Cross.
