Is Sen. Jim Webb Hinting at a Party Switch?

David Paul Kuhn snagged a fascinating interview with Virginia Sen. Jim Webb.

As you may recall, Webb was secretary of Navy under Reagan, but in 2006 ran as a Democrat against then-Sen. George Allen, ultimately defeating him.

Kuhn's interview may spark speculation that Webb is laying the groundwork for a future party switch. Webb voted for health care reform, but tells Kuhn:

"I told him this was going to be a disaster," Webb recalls. "The president believed it was all going to work out."
Kuhn goes on to note that Webb "identifies himself as a Democrat. But he has few Democratic leaders to identify with."
