Webb would be a far better democrat candidate than any of the others on that side of the ticket. It seems that democrats are seeing vulnerability in Clinton and are starting to act on it. Webb would be a far better president than Sanders or Clinton should the democrats win. I am glad he jumped in, it will make the democrat debates far more interesting.

Clinton needs to be afraid of Sanders, but I'm not sure she has much to fear from anybody else.

"After graduating from the Naval Academy, Webb was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps. Attending the Marine Corps Officer Basic School shortly after leaving Annapolis, he graduated first in his class. He was promoted to first lieutenant in the second half of his tour in Vietnam. He served as a platoon commander with Delta Company, 1st Battalion 5th Marines."
and
"Traveling widely as a journalist, he received an Emmy Award for his PBS coverage of the U.S. Marines in Beirut in 1983, and in 2004 was embedded with the U.S. military in Afghanistan. "
