Webb Steps In

CS Monitor: Jim Webb all but launches presidential bid. Does he have a chance? The former Secretary of the Navy and Virginia senator launched a new campaign website Wednesday. Can Jim Webb give Hillary Rodham Clinton a run for her money?

WEb is a perfect example of what happened to the so called Dem. party over the last 35 yrs. Webb was Reagan's Under Sect. for the Navy. Reagan's! The friggin Dems. have moved so far to the right a guy like Webb and many others have become Dems., because in their own party ( the GOP) there isn't any political space for them anymore. Now both parties are just different wings of the GOP. Nobody out here represents 90% of the public anymore.

The polls for the 'base' of the Democratic Party point to Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and Robert Reich! At least the base has it right (left?). Webb is the perfect type of candidate for establishment Democrats in DC exactly for the reasons that you describe, what the hell is he after all, he's a rightwinger.
