Marine veteran and former VA Senator James Webb is the anti-Hillary. He's also the anti-Obama, a rare Democrat who is seeking to bring working-class white males back into the fold. Liberal on almost all issues except guns, where he appears from what I could find, to be pretty strong on Second Amendment rights.

He doesn't have a snowball's chance in getting the nomination but he could do some damage to Hillary on the way to her coronation.

We’ll see if Webb becomes the ABC (Anybody But Clinton) candidate whom Democrats opposed to Hillary coalesce around.

For such a clear front runner, I must say, the lack of enthusiasm among leading Democrats to her roll out has been notable. Late night comedians are making fun of Hillary’s roll out. She may yet have a bumpy ride to her coronation.

OK, I’m asking because I really want to know: If the General Election came down to Jim Webb (D) and Jeb Bush (R), which one is more “Conservative”?

He’s also the scumbag who threw his “friend” and fellow vet to the wolves when his friend was caught carrying Webb’s weapon into the capitol.

I can’t believe you guys are giving this guy any kind of quarter. He voted for Obamacare, he was the 60th vote. That being said let him join the circus. We do need some Democrat debates, can’t hold debates for one person you know.

Webb’s also against anti-white “affirmative action” programs and was against EPA seizing control over CO2 emissions. I think he’d have a very hard time winning the Democrat nomination. Would be fun to watch, though.

I think only someone to the left of Hillary could defeat her for the nomination.
But yes Webb could bleed some of her dough on the primary trail.

It would be bad news if she hits Sept ‘16 with her full $2.5 billion war chest. That was certainly a big help for Baraq in 2012.

I wonder if Melon head’s past will come out or will he be seen as a Republican “light” and be savaged by the media.
