Webb was of course also Sec. of the Navy, so he does have a bit more experience than just the 2 years in the Senate.  I don't know if that's enough experience to put him in contention, but I find it no more implausible than the case being made by all the people saying that Giuliani or Romney would pick Huckabee for VP.  That would be a ticket with zero Washington experience and zero foreign policy experience (in an election campaign where foreign policy is likely to be a big issue).  How is that any less implausible than Clinton/Webb?

The other thing going for Webb is that, not only is he a veteran himself, but his son is also serving as well.  Symbolically, that's an added bonus, as there's the whole "today's politicians start wars that they wouldn't want their own children fighting in" meme.  This may sound stupid as a qualification for VP, but believe me, HRC's advisors *will* take such things into consideration.
