I have kept track of Webb ever since I read an article about him when he was campaigning.I trust him. Right now he's looking into the prison system. Hes smart hes articulate and I truly believe hes honest and honorable.
I wonder how bush would pronounce conundrum?

Simple answer is the Administration, State and local government completely screwed up the situation and had not taken any of the recommended precautions. My guess is they are not going to fill those gaps going forward. If they had intended to do so, they would have a time line and be working to that. The study was performed with tax payer monies and I see no reason how they could have the guts in holding this information back.

At least we know he'll be packing heat!

Then the Democrats could have a deadlocked convention. They could settle on Jim Webb though he scares all who are in the race now. There is no telling what Jim Webb would do. He knows the Beltway. He is an experienced, accomplished, fearless, idealist. That should scare the hell out of the DLC & those who brought Bush #43 into the White House.

The Bush-Clinton-Lieberman Axis of Evil

Until Webb's actions are as tough as his talk, the jury is still out on him.

He and others need to stand by Russ Feingold, Dennis Kucinich, and other actively strong Democrats. They need to write, stand by, and vote for stronger legislation.

As long as Senate Democrats marginalize Russ Feingold and Dennis Kucinich, they are doing the work of Republicans.

I have not seen enough of anything from Jim Webb, except sporadic tough rhetoric.

The problem with Democrats is they think that, because someone is standing up and talking tough, and, in some cases, fell that it's about time someone says, whatever it is, forcefully and encompasses previously neglected issues, that by saying some things they agree with, that's enough.

Nancy Pelosi has proven that that's not enough. Joe Lieberman is a prime example of how an electorate can be fooled.

Jim Webb, and virtually every Democrat presently in office, whether speaking boldly or not, are all representative of ineffective leadership.

Democrats do need to focus on the worst offenders first, however, giving Jim Webb or any other of these virtually useless representatives too much credit as leaders, and to propel their status to that of potentially anything, seems to be putting faith in that which has proven all too little.

Pretty funny that if Webb gets the VP slot if Hillary gets the nom, then this will be the most Hawkish right of center ticket the Dems have ever put up. And I'm a moderate Republican supporting Obama! What's wrong with this picture? The world is upside down!

Senator Webb won't be a running mate for one obvious reason - he would make a better president than any of the clowns currently running for the Democratic ticket.

Good choice for SECDEF though.

Sen. Webb seems to be a great man, but isn't it a little early to be talking Veep?

Besides, wouldn't it make more sense to have a nationally recognised Dem, like one of the other contenders for Presidential candidate, as a Veep?

No offense to Sen. Webb, but he would not be my first choice for Veep.

Any VP is a potential President and should be held to the same standard in terms of qualifying experience. James Webb simply hasn't proven himself ready for the office yet.

It makes sense. If Hillary wins, we could have two perverts in the White and three experts on spinning fiction.

One thing, Senator James Webb, really should be looking for a running mate, as "President James Webb," sounds so much better than the entire mess that's out there!! My vote, James Webb / Wesley Clark, and bring back the draft, seeing as how it truely worked during WW11!

Semper Fi . . .

Webb?

Who is that?

I'm willing to bet a heck of a lot of folks,
outside Virginia, never heard of the guy.

Come on folks..use the gray matter between your
ears!

Senator Webb has excellent military experience. He would not accept the VP position under Clinton. He laughed at her late sponsorship of his bill to thwart criticism of her Iran vote. Obama/Webb 08!

And having the chance to lose a senate seat from a red state?? I think not!
