Voters also should prepare for Webb's libertarian views on such issues as his support for abortion and gun rights and concern about some of President Bush's tactics in the war on terrorism, including the domestic wiretapping program.
"Government does not belong in people's private lives unless there is a compelling reason," Webb said.
Despite a desire to be portrayed as independent, Webb plans to become engaged with the state's Democratic Party. He said he plans to start helping Gov. Timothy M. Kaine (D) with his effort to elect more Democrats to the General Assembly next year.
"I want to do what I can to bring people back into the party," Webb said.
Somehow I don't think this guy is going to frustrate Democrats
that much...
I'm liking Webb more and more the more I hear about him.
