Webb is a patriot, who cares deeply about the security of this country. This is a guy who quit Ronald Reagan's administration because he though Dutch was too soft. In January Webb will be part of a 1 vote majority in the US Senate for a party whose leadership espouses positions on National Security that range from indifferent, to hostile.

If the Dems don't act like grown ups on National Security, Webb will have the choice of either repudiating everything he has ever stood for, or telling the Dem leadership to pound sand.

I think he would take the second option, and that we ought to make it very easy for him to change parties, or transition to an Independent, who caucuses with the Republicans.

Jumpin' Jim in reverse, only Webb would be leaving because his Party failed to carry out the policies he ran on, while Jumpin' Jim, Co-Chair of Bush's 2000 campaign in Vermont, switched because the Republicans did try to carry out in 2001 what they ran on in 2000.

Yeah, sure. Keep pretending he hasn't already made that choice.

Ignore all the money and support the Dems and the media gave him. That doesn't matter to Jim Webb LOL!

"Webb is a patriot"

Sorry "patriot" and "endorsed by Hillary" doesnt compute.

Malfunction malfunction malfunction.

Tell him to switch parties now and save America the trouble!!!
