I'm alienated, already. But he'll do, and probably better than Hillary.

Jim Webb Announces Exploratory Committee For Presidential Run

He's an Annapolis graduate proud of his Vietnam service record as a marine 1LT awarded the Navy Cross, the Silver Star, two Bronze Stars, and two Purple Hearts, and that creates a big gap between him and me.

I seriously doubt we'd hit it off.

On the other hand, he appears to be to Hillary's left on working class issues and this story hints he may be less Hawkish than both Hillary and Pocahontas, all of which is to the good.

But he won't get the single women's vote and he won't seem a rock star to the young.

And he would only grudgingly get non-white support.

He sounds way too comfortable in his white skin and too inclined to run a campaign that's friendly to whites.

I don't know where he is on issues related to sex, but he doesn't seem offhand to be just what the LGBT gang were hoping for, either.

He has a liberal rating of 85% from the ADA, and you have to wonder where he lost that 15%.

Still, he seems as openly hostile to Wall Street interests as Pocahontas and would likely have considerably broader appeal than she or Hillary to white males and maybe both males in general and whites in general.

Too bad about that war record.

And while we're on the topic of annoying things about Democrats, this morning the wife left a news report for me to look at about how Obamacare defunded Medicare Advantage Plans to help cover subsidies for coverage through the exchanges, resulting in higher premiums, deductibles, and copays for seniors.

Exactly as the Republicans spent hours and hours on Fox telling seniors would happen if Obamacare passed.

This was a serious blow to a lot of people with nothing but time to watch news and vote, and understandably they did not like it one whit.

Just pointing that out in case you believed the lying liberal propaganda that senior opposition to O and the Democrats is about racism.
