D’oh!<\/em><\/p>\n

I almost forgot about Jim Webb. He’s a Democrat who’s also running for president of the United States. Or at least he’s thinking about it.<\/p>\n

A recent blog I posted noted the entry of former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley into the 2016 Democratic presidential primary race. I mentioned that O’Malley joins Sen. Bernie Sanders as declared “anti-Hillary Clinton” Democrats and that former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chaffee is likely to join the race.<\/p>\n

I didn’t even mention Jim Webb, the former U.S. senator from Virginia.<\/p>\n

It might be that I keep forgetting that Webb is even a Democrat. He served the Reagan<\/em> administration, for crying out loud, back in the 1980s.<\/p>\n

Webb, though, has a nice following of supporters around the country who admire him — as I do — for his service in Vietnam as a Marine and his no-nonsense approach to governing.<\/p>\n

Future blog posts will have to mention this fine man.<\/p>\n

My bad.<\/p>\n\n
