Tin ear

I guess I have a tin ear. Yesterday, I posted a comment following the Webb/Allen Virginia Senate debate, saying that I thought Webb had blown it with a terribly poor and insensitive answer to a challenge raised by a 1970s article of his that said women didn't have the stuff it takes to be in the military. Today, Kos writes:

A Webb consultant tells me that the Meet The Press debate in which Webb kicked Allen's ass has proven to be a financial boon to Webb. In the 24 hours since the debate, the campaign scored over $100,000 online, unsolicited. That's not including offline fundraising.

I guess there are either a lot of male chauvinist pigs contributing to Webb's campaign or I've got a tin ear.
