Jim Webb will NOT run as an Independent...

Just in: Jim Webb rules out indie presidential bid, citing fundraising concerns:



Can't imagine why funding would be a problem...

1. Webb. Stay out of this. You will not do anything constructive for the

Democratic Party and I think you know that.


What are you think? Are the current candidates Clinton and Sanders too far beneath your standards? Why not run on the Republican Ticket? You are more qualified than any of those characters.

3. He's not crazy enough for today's republicans.

Even Kasich, who is supposed to be the "moderate" in that group is significantly to the right of Webb on every issue other than guns and coal.

Webb was never a good fit for the republicans or the Democrats, his views tend to be all over the political spectrum. I'm an admirer of Webb, and I'll always be grateful for him destroying George Allen's career, but he really should stick to writing and stay out of elective politics.
