Shame on him for not jumping on the latest leftist bandwagon that will be forgotten within a month's time.

Webb still needs to get the respect of the country by respecting his service to the military.

Anyway, Webb should come out in opposition to having the flag on public buildings, obviously.

TIL that Bill Haslam, Bob Corker, and Nikki Haley are leftists.

Coward. Or racist?

He has said this after all.

“I think this is where Democrats screw up, you know?” Webb said. “I think that they have kind of unwittingly used this group, white working males, as a whipping post for a lot of their policies. And then when they react, they say they're being racist.”

They aren't, they're just trying to score points with them.

Even Chafee has a better shot at the nomination than Webb.

Webb narrowly defeating Allen in '06 is one of my favorite election moments of all-time. Why must he continue to sully the memory of that moment for me?

So basically Jim Webb is to the right of the Republican Party on the place of the Confederate flag in public and official situations. Terrific.

It's more like scoring points with business conservatives and moderates.  But in light of the tragedy, it's hard for anyone but the most hardline pro-Confederate flagers to oppose taking 'em down.

Isn't Webb still just for civil unions?

I'm surprised Wulfric isn't on his bandwagon.

I don't consider that issue when voting.

Didnt Webb read from same play book as Dean? He also said that the Dems should understand these people more and get their support. Bounced from primaries.

He just did. In the past he's been more expansive.

It's good to see someone finally speaking in a reasonable manner about this issue.

It'd be mildly amusing if Webb ran as a third-party "populist" type of candidate-after all George Wallace was apparently the most antiwar of the major candidates in 1968.

To think that for a couple of months he was the most plausible "leftist alternative" to Hillary.
