I know he would have more Conk support on here than most Democratic candidates.
Cid1990 for one. Would anyone else get on board?

I don't think there's any way the Dems don't nominate Hillary. It doesn't matter if she's tied to Whitewater, or that she's publicly all about the middle class and is "not Mitt Romney" despite her wealth, or her involvement for better or worse with Arab Spring and what happened afterward - she'll get the nomination. Unfortunately, the Dems care less about putting the right person in office than breaking a racial or gender barrier.
I don't know much about this guy aside from what I just read, but I think a lot of good candidates on both sides never see the light of day because they're eclipsed by the power of these huge campaign machines.
I found this too while looking around for info on him - It's the DC Post, but pretty damning overall.

No thanks. Of all the Donks, he's one that I wanted to see lose more than any.

No! At his core he is just as liberal as any of the rest of the Democrats.

This. No way the Dems run someone else out for the WH. It's her election to lose anyways.

Meh. People said the same thing in 2008.
Hillary's to lose. No way they nominate someone else. Etc. Etc. Etc.
Then Travis had his heart broken.

Webb has spoken fondly of his Confederate roots and defended the Southern states' decision to secede, even citing the "Nazification of the Confederacy."
He said in 2004 that John Kerry deserved to be condemned for his actions in opposition to the Vietnam War.
Webb's writings and comments have been criticized by the left for being insensitive to women.
Sounds like a few Republicans. Nothing wrong with Confederate heritage.

It was a while ago kalm, but I recall him as a sleezy womanizer. His ads during that campaign were all typical smear. Just not a likable guy.

The someone else they nominated was a negro. In the Progressive hierarchy of otherness, negro trumps female -- not by much, but by enough. Of course, persistent rumors of Obama's Chicago bath house exploits made him a twofer. A mere white lesbian can't compete with that.

Couldn't have been that persistent. As someone that is obsessed with political news, I never once heard about that.

You can't expect to find the real news in the MSM. You should follow CitadelGrad's lead and get your news from tabloids and blogs.
You must have missed the "news" about Obama having his gay lover murdered during the 2008 election.
But, really. This conspiracy theory is more batshit than 99% of expandspanos's posts... and, far dumber than the birth certificate nuts.
