Reply #39: Good on him

[ampad]

Obama has run a great campaign. He isn't the one in debt up to his eyeballs and he has brought with him new voters from all across the country. I don't need to get on my soap box and talk about the campaign that Hillary has run. She doesn't deserve the honor. Obama worked hard and was put through the ringer the entire time after all that he should be allowed to choose someone he trust and that carries his message and vision. Hillary does none of that.

I hope he picks the talented Jim Webb. No offense to you Clark fans but Clark is not a very good politician. Jim Webb seems so down to earth and the man is smart as hell, his books are excellent. I think Webb would bring so much to the table and I know this may sound crass but Webb knows how it feels to have a child in war. If I'm not mistaken, McCain's son is either in Iraq or is going soon. Having Webb on the ticket will probably blunt the blow that will come from the right wing when they start talking about personal sacrifice for this war. Also Webb will be a constant reminder that asshole McCain voted against the G.I. bill.
