Eh, still far less corrupt than Hillary Clinton.

Low bar.

When has Hillary ever done something like this? Serious question.

[Lincoln Republican]

Busted.

Not that Webb could ever have been taken seriously as a potential Dem nominee anyway.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

This is even more desperate than Newt Gingrich.

In Webb's defense of this nepotism charge, his spouse, siblings, or parents have never been President.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

To misquote Peter Cook, it would be a sad day for the United States if politicians were banned from using their election expenses in any manner they see fit.

Yes, Hillary clearly should have killed herself in 1992, because once your husband is elected all your achievements will be erased into his. Barack deserves the credit for Let's Move! too, after all, it never would have happened had...

[Libertarian Socialist Dem]

Too bad, I know that he had no chance but I still would have liked him on the stage in primary debates just to keep things interesting.

[BaconBacon96]

So you think he's out now? That's a shame.

[Libertarian Socialist Dem]

I hope not but this definitely doesn't bode well for someone who already had a huge mountain to climb to even have a chance at a respectable showing.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Eh, still far less corrupt than Hillary Clinton.

Oakie, you're one of my favorite posters. Please, don't ruin it.

[Panda Express]

Poor Jim Webb. He was an honorable man who never stood a chance against the Clinton Smear Machine. Martin O'Malley better watch his back. These are sinister people.

[IceSpear]

Wow, this could really put a dent in his support. He might fall from 1% to 0.5%.

[IceSpear]

Eh, still far less corrupt than Hillary Clinton.

Please explain in detail (preferably with citations) about how Hillary Clinton is corrupt.

[You kip if you want to...]

And here we have it, the first scandal of the 2016 campaign.

[Paul Kemp]

Is Atlas so thirsty for 2016 news that we're pretending Jim Webb is a real candidate?

[Maxwell]

Is Atlas so thirsty for 2016 news that we're pretending Jim Webb is a real candidate?

Apparently.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Is Atlas so thirsty for 2016 news that we're pretending Jim Webb is a real candidate?

A site dedicated to presidential elections covers a presidential candidate? The horror!

[Libertarian Socialist Dem]

Given that he's started an exploratory committee I think that he is likely going to be a "real candidate" in terms of filing papers to run if you want to get technical about it.

Do better.

Btw, according to this, there was some shopping of the "Webb novel sex scenes" story by Clinton-world last month:

Well, which started as an uphill climb will be even more hampered by this, even if Biden jumped in, and it was a three way, it wouldn't be enough to save him.

His only hope is that Clinton doesn't run.

[Türkisblau]

Seeing how fast the Clinton smear machine has started up against him, the dismissal of so many on here of Webb and his chances is definitely too hasty.
