Former Virginia Senator Jim Webb launches exploratory committee!

[Lief 🗽]

I was a big fan of Jim Webb in 2006 when he ran for Senate. He was a good senator too. He was one of the few people willing to talk about issues that are really damaging in this country (income inequality, the need for criminal justice reform). I don't think there's anything wrong with a gaggle of joke candidates running alongside Clinton, and I hope she's smart enough to be willing to debate them. It's been a while since she ran a presidential campaign; she's gonna need the practice.

That said it's kind of pathetic how low budget his announcement video is, jesus christ.

Basically if this website is at all representative of the campaign he's going to run, then he'll more like a Mike Gravel than anything else. Unless he finds a wealthy benefactor who is willing to start a Super PAC for him, of course.
