Webb might be in the race.

Jim Webb has built an entire persona on being a contrarian outsider whom no one sees coming. The Democratic former senator from Virginia has regularly unnerved members of his party by citing a GOP icon, Ronald Reagan, as his hero. His storied unwillingness to play by the accepted rules of modern-day campaigns has established him as one of the true political eccentrics of the age.
Which explains why most experts severely discount Webb’s chances of ever becoming president — and why Webb is genuinely thinking about a White House bid in 2016.
“I’m seriously looking at the possibility of running for president,” he said in a speech last week. “But we want to see if there’s a support base from people who would support the programs that we’re interested in pursuing.”
Webb is a "true political eccentric?" An interesting description of a milquetoast candidate. It'll make it a little more interesting for the "testicled one", but she ought to be able to shake Webb pretty easily.

He was a shill as a senator, I don't think he'd be much of a president.

So he's a lock for the PETA vote at least.

Let's clarify (and this correction is from a Marine). There are MARINES, and there are people who were/are IN the Marines.
HUGE difference.
For some it's a stepping stone, not a brotherhood/sisterhood. Which is sad.

What has he done pray tell...as either senator or as a human being that qualifies him to lead a nation. I think the only thing he could possibly say is "I am not Hillary Clinton."
