As much as some of you may like the idea of Jim Webb as Obama's veep, this clearly disqualifies for the gig:
The politics of the Karl Rove era were designed to distract and divide the very people who would ordinarily be rebelling against the deterioration of their way of life. Working Americans have been repeatedly seduced at the polls by emotional issues such as the predictable mantra of "God, guns, gays, abortion and the flag" while their way of life shifted ineluctably beneath their feet.
Jim Webb just oooooozes elitism, doesn't he?
