For VP, Webb is a non starter.
Please explain why.
Simply put
Obama first term Senator + Webb first term Senator = non starter
Webb meets the white male requirement that Obama will require for a running mate, however, Obama as well requires someone with more elective
political maturity than Webb has.
Webb is not a particularly likeable politician. He can be brash and blunt.
As well, he has written controversial articles about women in the military and women in combat in the past, which may come back to haunt him as the VP candidate. Not that I agree statements made so many years ago should have any bearing on a campaign, however, some might.
Webb is a strong proponent of gun rights, and could therefore be at odds with much of the Democratic base.
Obama does not need the controversy in his campaign of being politically inexperienced and of having a politically inexperienced running mate, nor the potential controversy of having a running mate whose past views on women in the military and in combat may be viewed as sexist by some, nor the potential fall out of having to defend a running mate who is a pro gun advocate.
All considered, I believe Webb is a non starter to become the running mate for Obama.
