I'm too left-leaning to be a Webb guy myself, but it'd be hard for me not to see him as the obvious frontrunner: the country to Obama's city, the South to Obama's North, the conservative to Obama's liberalism ... His war heroism is nearly as impressive as McCain's, while his anti-war stance on Iraq exposes the giant albatross around McCain's neck. Webb was Secretary of the Navy under Reagan -- and the minute anyone mentions Reagan's name, many Americans fall into a swoon involving the loss of any common sense or grip on reality. If Obama nominates Clinton, there will still be significant doubts about his victory; but if he nominates Webb, I can guarantee you here and now that, absent more GOP fraud, there is no way he loses in November.
