And it's strange: Webb's Democratic bona fides are the big question in the June 13 election, but he refuses to offer a pat answer. He wanders through his response, talking as a writer thinks, trying one pathway, then another--and it requires some patience from the audience, which is used to hearing politicians give smooth, market-tested replies to the tough questions.
