    Might be one of the better candidates on either side of the isle.

    He is definitely the only candidate worth a damn on the left...though that might be because he isn't really on the left.

    It's the radical extremist left now and no he didn't belong with that group the Democrats had on stage last night.

    He's the only Democratic candidate who came off as reasonable. That's why he has no chance.

    I think Jim Webb would be more happier if he came back to the GOP.

    As a conservative, I have been impressed with Webb and would vote for him over some in the GOP field History shows that a prez with actual combat experience is not trigger happy--case in point Eisenhower.

    But the odds of Webb winning the Democratic nomination are probably about the same as me winning the miss America beauty pageant, which is to say zero.

    Reasonable to the party that loves Trump and Carson. Being endorsed by Republican fruit loops is not exactly a great measure of credibility.

    This is just my opinion but I think Jim Webb will soon be dropping out.

    Webb doesn't stand a chance with this Democrat Party.

    I am not a Republican and I do not support Donald Trump or Ben Carson.

    Are you under the illusion that you are the party.

    He is more what democrats used to be, not the far left progressives in charge now.

    Kind of like Rand Paul. One reasonable guy up against a bunch of blow hard nit wits, and the latest offering from the Bush Crime family.

    I like Jim Webb and would certainly think about voting for him. The others on that stage do not have a snowballs chance in Hades of getting my vote. Neither does 8 or so of the remaining Republican potential nominees.

    Guy who's a relative moderate. A war hero. Someone with conviction who stood up to the feminazi lynch mob during the Tailhook days.

    He has no chance in the Democratic Socialist freak show.

    He's basically the last blue dog democrat that's still alive. Which is a bit humorous since he shared the stage with the last Liberal Republican Lincoln Chafee, who is no of course just a normal leftist Democrat. If he attempts to really get back into politics I doubt he will be an Elected Democrat.

    I always liked him.

    If he drops out, I hope Hillary considers him for Sec Def or a post on the Joint Chiefs.

    I would very strongly consider voting for him. Hillary Clinton could go a long way toward regaining some piece of my trust if she selected him as her Secretary of Defense.

    Oh, do you mean in the Democratic Party?

    Try again, this time, with talent!

    There's always the option of a write-in vote. I hear that "Mickey Mouse" is sometimes a good choice...

    :D

    No need. In the past I have voted for Perot twice, Browne Twice and Gary Johnson once. The fact is when one votes for the lesser of two evils or the least worst candidate among the two major parties, one always ends up with a bad president.
