(1,713 posts)I have lots of nice things to say about Jim Webb. The man is a serious thinker, honest, performed very admirably in office, was humble enough to voluntarily decline to run for re-election (without any shadow hanging over him to influence the decision), and doesn't take a heedless-rush-to-war approach to foreign policy. He's well-spoken and a formidable candidate, having beaten the odds to win a Senate seat in a state that was heavily Republican at the time. Because he performed well, he led the way for a Democratic renaissance in his state that in turn led to a sweep of statewide offices by our party. And there's not a whisper of any kind of ethics problem about him.
I barely know anything about the other announced candidate, O'Malley, so I have nothing yet to say either way about him, other than that I'd happily roll the dice on a complete unknown in preference to she-who-demands-loyalty-above-all-things.
