He is also a terrific comedian.

The messiah could pick a white southern woman ... like little Johnny Edwards.

[Max7]

I nominate Teddy Kennedy. Then we can go back to Chappaquiddick.......

Webb said some ridiculous things during his Senate run that could be turned around on him. His race wasn’t big enough to garner national scrutiny, but would be if he was in the VP seat.

[TommyDale]

Jim Webb...didn’t he write the song “MacArthur Park”?

[Old Phone Man]

Webb is a darn good choice.One real good thingabout him is that he’s been there and one that as far as the military goes...Say what you want about him, I’d trust and follow him if the shid ever hits the fan!!!

Oh God.

Jim “Born Idiot” Webb isn’t fit to serve as a United States Senator, much less VP. The only reason he’s there now is because of a solid drumbeat of “macaca” from the Washington Post and their clones in the MSM.

He likes to play up the whole Scots-Irish “Born Fighting” thing, and come across as some sort of badass down-home populist gun-totin’ ass-kickin’ good ol’ boy. But in reality, just like the rest of the “conservative” Rats that entered Congress in ‘06, he obediently does what Mama Nancy and Daddy Harry tell him to do.

It might be entertaining for only one reason—Webb has a temper that makes McQueeg look prim and stable by comparison. If Born Idiot got out there on the VP stump, sooner or later, somebody would push the wrong button, and the result might be a very interesting YouTube moment (because the MSM won’t report it).

Isn’t Jim Webb the guy who writes books about young naked boys?

[Joe 6-pack]

"Hello? Mmm-hmmm. I see. No, I'm not related to that retarded senator."

[NeoCaveman]

Oh great, VP Mellonhead Webb.

[NonValueAdded]

“The Nightingale’s Song” redux?

[tumblindice]

I exchanged some e-mails with him a couple years ago and he seemed like a really good guy.

[freespirited]

Webb is a darn good choice.

Not if the rumors are true.

[roses of sharon]

Webb sure had alot of Freepers falling for his act, but then so does Hussein.

Many swooners around here.

Man, I just don't trust Republican and Conservative voters anymore.

[stravinskyrules]

There’s two Democrats running for the Presidency. Gotta pick one.

[Revolting cat!]

"and I'll never have that recipe again, oh nooooooooooo..."

[Crimson Elephant]

I hate to say it, but Webb might be a good choice strategically for BHO.

[bmwcyle]

They can trade poor gun handling stories.

Obama could do worse than Jim Webb - a lot worse. (And he likely will). But it would be a fairly shrewd choice as compared with many others he could make. Fields of Fire is still the best book ever written about Vietnam from the point of view of the infantry soldier. Wherever Webb has gone politically since his days in the Reagan Administration, he deserves credit for telling that story.

I don’t like the prospect, but I agree. 13 electoral votes + the DNC has made it known that it wants to flip Virginia back to a “blue state.” Virginia is essentially there already. Does the DNC have its own Southern Strategy?
