Sen. Jim Webb

Today I was fortunate enough to catch this brilliant NPR interview with Senator Jim Webb (D - VA): Choosing His Battles. He is being named as one potential Vice Presidential candidate for the Democratic party. I strongly encourage you to visit the "Listen Now" link to hear an intelligent and inspiring conversation about his military career and service in Vietnam, upcoming legislation for a new G.I. Bill proportionally equivalent to the benefits offered to veterans returning from WWII (which is expected to be vetoed by Pres. Bush), the Iraq war, political polarization within the military, and recent failures of the Democrats--once an anti-war "party of the working person" (currently tied up in anti-military, interest-group politics). Don't listen to me: go listen to the interview. I think Senator Webb would be a perfect Vice President, if not President!
Stay up!
