Falwell Jumps Into Virginia Senate Race
Forbes.com staff 08.31.06, 6:00 PM ET



Ten weeks before election day, conservative TV evangelist Jerry Falwell is heaping surprising praise on the Democrat opposing Sen. George Allen's re-election bid in Virginia.

In an interview on Forbes.com, Falwell, 73, makes his first comments about Allen's opponent, James Webb. Falwell says he disagrees with Webb on social issues, but gives the politician a personal ranking of "A-."

Webb is the second ideological foe Falwell has warmed up to this year. In May, Falwell invited Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) to speak at Liberty University, the Christian college in Virginia that the evangelist founded in 1971 and runs with his son Jerry Falwell Jr. (See: Prophets of Boom)

Or Falwell may just be hedging his political bets, now that Allen has seen the 19-point lead in the polls he held at the beginning of the summer evaporate, following recent controversial remarks to a Webb campaign worker.

That firestorm helped Webb gain a narrow lead by this week. In our interview, Falwell blames the media for the controversy, as well as offering his predications for the outcome of this fall's mid-terms and the 2008 presidential election.
