I don't know if he is my first choice, but he seems to fit the campaign. He is older, but new to the Senate. He worked under Reagan, who's positivity and wide tent Obama seeks to replicate. He is a decorated Navy Marine, and seems like a bulldog.
Only the governor of Montana would be more interesting than Webb. Anyone curious about him should read his novels (not bad) and/or The Nightingale's Song.
I live in VA. and I can tell you, Jim Webb is a iron itellecutal, and with his military background and working class roots - he would bring much needed balance to Obama. Webb doesn't have the "flash" that some may have, but his resume is rock solid.
UPDATE: There's a push on this:
YES!I have been sayin this for months..i feel its already a DONE deal to be honest.
