OK, so maybe Webb shouldn't be VP

Perhaps I spoke too soon when advocating for Jim Webb as the VP nom. Ezra has a great post detailing how the Senate plays to Webb's strengths. His military knowledge and passion for ordinary soldiers is unmatched in the Senate. Anyways, check out the post.

The Reverse Kirkpatrick

Check out this great article by Spencer Ackerman at the American Prospect. Jim Webb would be a near perfect running mate for Barack Obama. While my preferred ticket would be Obama and Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, it seems that an Obama-Webb pairing would be much more electable. Webb is an authoritative voice on the war and a good progressive. Even if he's not the VP nom, a speaking slot for him in Denver would be electrifying.
