I'm not defending the book Pro. I haven't read Webb's fiction and don't plan to. For all I know, he described a bunch of demeaning degrading stuff about women in order to deplore the same. Fiction has good guys and bad guys. Writing what the bad guys do doesn't justify it. There is plenty of fiction out there to glorify degrading women. If Webb's fiction does that, then I agree it would prevent me from voting for him. I simply don't know. The fact that he's a Democrat is a lot more relevant to how I would vote.

"The Allen campaign refuses to return our calls asking whether Sen. Allen will release his sealed divorce records. We're not the only news outlet asking, just the only one telling you how the Allen campaign is responding. Heck, one major national daily had a reporter out in LA for at least week trying to nail down the story. It's what every Washington insider is talking about: what's inside those sealed records down in Albemarle County. Now that the Allen campaign is about to go on the airwaves about sex scenes in Jim Webb's books, maybe you should know about this too."
