WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb said Tuesday he is dropping out of the Democratic race for president and is considering his options about how he might “remain as a voice” in the campaign.
Webb said at a news conference that he is “withdrawing from any consideration” of becoming the Democratic party’s nominee and would spend the coming weeks exploring his options about a possible independent bid.
“The very nature of our democracy is under siege due to the power structure and the money that finances both political parties,” Webb said, joined by his wife, Hong Le Webb. “Our political candidates are being pulled to the extremes. They’re increasingly out of step with the people they’re supposed to serve.”
Webb said many of the issues that he cares about are not in line with the hierarchy of the Democratic party, saying he did not have a “clear, exact fit” in either party. Asked if he still considers himself a Democrat, Webb said, “We’ll think about that.” More here
Realized hes not bat crap cray cray so he cant win the nomination to the Mos Isley Spaceport Bar.
Love the Avatar. Loved the movie. Would like to see the same ending applied to congress.
Cheers.
Never heard of him.
I’ve heard of Jack Web.
The Republicans in the Senate should offer to caucus with him and offering up a nice juicy Chairmanship, maybe something to do with veterans.
He’s more a traditional Republican than a number of their members now.
I’d hate to see him try a 3rd party run.
My respect for him nudged up a notch…..just a notch.
Thanks
Actually its Necron99

Shit, LET him run as an indie…No way Hillary/Sanders will beat Trump/Cruz then.
Wait… He thought he was IN the race? He wasn’t trying very hard. He didn’t even buy a special “Scooby Van” that he only used once and then no one ever saw again. Other than his announcement that he was a candidate, I never saw any sign that he was running.
Ralph Bakshi’s non-porno masterpiece.
Just what I was thinking … How do you drop out of something you were never really in?
I do like the guy, mostly for his large balls war record. But don’t forget for a second he voted the way Reid wanted 100% including for ObamaCare. He only appears to look sane compared to Sanders and Hillary.
I’d give him a ^5 if he dropped the D entirely.
He sounds totally out of step from them.
The last tiny, remote speck of sanity has just left the Damocratic field of candidates.
Shit
dEmocratic
I know how to spell. Thumbs went to the wrong place.
He doesn’t look as bad as the rest of Team Geritol, but he turns 70 in 2016. He’s one of the few commies with military service, but he’s said to be a real strange-o. He doesn’t get along with anyone and cuts off people who disagree with him.
