Default Much Talk About Jim Webb But What Do You Know About Him?

Here's a good article on Webb by the legendary political journalist from the "New Yorker" mag Elizabeth Drew. This from the 'New York Review of Books'. It's worth the time it takes to read and it makes clear why Webb on an Obama ticket gives the McCain guys nightmares. Word is Webb isn't really looking to be on the ticket, but who knows. He does get along well with Obama and Obama campaigned with him in Virginia when he won his Senate seat.

The Jim Webb Story - The New York Review of Books

Opinions?

I think Webb harkins back to the Democrats of old...the FDR type of Democrat. Which is why I can't imagine him accepting an offer to run with Obama.

However, that possibility should make Rs worry. It might lure true moderates their direction.

FDR was a moderate? Color me surprised.

P.S. the most moderate modern Democratic president ever was.... Bill Clinton.

Jim Webb was on Tavis Smiley the other night and said without question he has NO interest in a VP spot. Seems like a bright guy though....
