Reply #14: Jim Webb because of Defense, Military, and Political credentials. [View All]

[TexasObserver]

He's got the rep and record to offset the Republican noise about National Defense, etc.

I know many people like Wes Clark, but his record isn't anywhere near that of Webb's. Clark is one of those generals who lacks the kind of military street cred that serious on the ground service brings. He's always been more of a Washington Politico military man.

More importantly, Clark has never won elective office, and outside his group of supporters at DU, he simply has no constituency in the country. He can't deliver a single state.

I firmly believe in only putting on the national ticket people who have WON major elective offices. They are battle tested.
