Guida: What Jim Webb Brings to Presidential Race

John Guida, New York Times: By all accounts, he is an extreme long shot, but Jim Webb has set up an "exploratory committee" to see about running for president in 2016. ... The former senator from Virginia ... said in his announcement ... "Is it possible that our next President could actually lay out a vision for the country, and create an environment where leaders from both parties and from all philosophies would feel compelled to work together for the good of the country, despite all of the money and political pressure that now demands they disagree? I believe it is possible." ... Noah Millman at the American Conservative [says]: "He's a genuinely independent person, the exact opposite of the careerist climber. We desperately need more people like him in our politics."
