Discussion for article #227997

I see he finally succumbed to the pressure from the “Draft Jim Webb” movement.

So now the HRC alternatives are beginning to show themselves and I predict that she is going to start looking better and better. This dude can run as an “anti-war” candidate (whatever that means) but he is NOT a liberal or a progressive. In point of fact he was the only Democrat on the Armed Services Committee in 2010 that voted against repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg, as they say.

OMG HRC attacked from the right and all Bill’s kissy face with Dubya and it’s over President Biden (Biden/Warren that is).

Never trust a ginger!

A lot of former famous couples in VA are in the same situation. Follow Eric not Bob.

You know, I am thinking also of running for president, but I’m not saying I am. I am going to take this one nickel at a time. Just considering whether it’s the right thing for the country and for me and my cat at this time in our lives.

I’m not ruling anything out. There that’s done.

No.

That is all.

Edit: Actually, no it’s not hehe. I will also observe that he’s just fishing for some limelight, being part of the “conversation” and consideration for a VP nod.

Running for veep.

Does he have a new book to hock or is this pure ego-stroking wankery?

Perhaps he should have worked harder at being a better Senator and not quit.

Started out liking this guy, ended up hating him… self absorbed; HUGE ego.

Caitlin informs us he’s " thinking of running during a National Press Club luncheon." Not to worry. The luncheon won’t be long enough to gather enough votes.

He’s like every seated and retired senator. When he looks in a mirror he sees the next president of the United States. Fortunately nobody else sees that reflection

And tomorrow morning, Joe Scarborough will come onto his show and rave about how Jim Webb needs to make up his mind already, right?

OK. That’s the second time you’ve posted that in the last week. As a life-long ginger, you are starting to hurt my feelings ;).
