That’s why they will lose in 2016.
The Democrats White Male problem has been around for a long time.
Now its sliding into the Red Zone and going Critical.
I wouldn’t say “Webb” and “Shot” in the same sentence. This guy is a nutjob, especially with his guns.
If the dems learned ANYTHING from the 2014 wipeout, it's that you don't win with pinko "novelty" candidates.
We've gone that route before.
Warren gives the left orgasms, but she is a total dud nationally.
Is Hillary being a woman, enough to carry the democrat carcass across the finish line in 2016?
Again, I don't know.
The dems must be scrambling for an electable person.
Even kookburgers must understand Hilary's baggage.

How about they draft Jeb Bush? They want him to run so bad, so why not run him for themselves? We can through in Romney for their VP.
I get what you’re saying but the level-headed adults don’t run the Democratic Party anymore. It’s the wide-eyed radical kooks who run it now and they want diversity in their presidential candidates. That means it’s going to be a woman and not a white male heading that ticket. The activist class and the big money people want a woman to be president so it’s a done deal!
If ObamaCare is still the law in 2016, even losing the 2016 election won’t matter. It will all be worth it for the Left.
What’s a Presidency or 4 if they have the country?
Sometimes you do. A pinko novelty candidate won presidential elections in 2008 and 2012.
never happen. Webb is nearly sane. Wrong and misguided, but nearly sane. Dem primary voters would never go for this guy. hell, they turned on Hillary Clinton because she wasn’t liberal enough, for crying out loud.

From your link, here’s a glimpse of what he believes:
* “We need to be able to project our forces in hot spots, but we don’t need to be in a hockey fight now in some of the places where we have been,” he said.
* Webb also called for a debate about the power of the presidency when it comes to the “unilateral use of military force around the world.”
* At home, he said, the National Security Agency plays a “vital role” in protecting the nation, but that information it has collected on people who are not engaged in terrorism or illegal activities should be destroyed.
* Webb also said the country has a “national crisis” in its criminal justice system with the mass incarceration for nonviolent offenders and their ability to successfully re-enter society.
* He preached a message about economic fairness, noting that while the stock market has nearly tripled since 2009, real wages for working people have declined.
“We actually have seen an economic recovery for those who have assets. … If you don’t have assets you’re not making money,” he said.
* Calling for a discussion of streamlining the tax code, reducing corporate income tax and increasing the tax on capital gains.
* “There has to be a way that people equally pay their fair share for the obligations that we have to keep this country going,” he said.
* Webb said voting for final passage of the Affordable Care Act was the hardest vote he took while serving in the Senate from 2007 to 2013.
He said he supported the measure because “doing something was better than doing nothing.”
He noted that his mother saw three of her siblings die in childhood in rural Arkansas because they did not have health care.
* But he believes the Affordable Care Act needs fixing.
* On immigration, Webb said President Barack Obama’s executive order delaying deportation of illegal immigrants appeared to be within his presidential powers, but there is a need for a broader, more comprehensive policy.
Chuckles, that works for me!
“Jim Webb is a White male. That party doesn’t want a White guy getting their nomination for president. “
Unless they pair him with a gay VP.
Seriously, that would seal his win.
James Webb, or someone like him, could beat a weak GOP-e nominee.
Absolutely.
The likes of Webb might give them an outside chance in 2016, which they do not deserve!
The real question is, Who is the Republican nominee?
We mustn't waste such a historic advantage on a RINO!
2014 is divisible by two but not by four. Years divisible by four reach a lot deeper into the sheeple cesspool.

And that wasn't even her husband.
Webb’s book appeared to me to be a condensed version of David Hackett Fischer’s ‘Albion’s Seed: Four British Folkways in America’.
One large section deals with the Scots Irish and Webb’s book read like a paraphrase. It wouldn’t surprise me to learn that Webb’s book was ghosted by Fischer himself.
The Democrats learned a lesson from 1972 and so they advertised Carter as being conservative when he ran in 1976. Carter wasn’t of course but they ran him that way in contrast to the McGovern crowd.
Webb is about as close to conservative as the Democrats get in this era. It would take a major revolt against their dominant Left for him to get the nomination. But if he did and he got to set their agenda Webb could be trouble for the GOP establishment’s latest offering.
