Webb folds...

Earlier I wrote, 

In the House we'll see obnoxious grandstanding by Blue Dogs and maybe even from some "progressives" about the need to halt reform in light of the election.

I had the wrong chamber, it's Senator Webb who folds first. It's a bit jarring to see this sentiment expressed by Jim Webb, a man I always viewed as a fighter - not a quitter.  If this is how Jim Webb is reacting I can only imagine what Joe Lieberman, Ben Nelson, Blanche Lincoln and the rest of the conservative Senate Dems are thinking.
