I agree.I think that most Democrats will vote for either Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton. They will vote Blue, before voting Independent. But Jim Webb may draw the more moderate Republican vote, with all the nutjobs running for the GOP spot. Yup, saw Gregor's post before yours.

Jim Webb never had the votes to take from the Dems and if he does run as an independent he'll probably do a lot worse than Nader with Dems. With the Republicans on the other hand...

A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

I am glad that Joe Biden has decided not to run. I liked him as a VP, but I still think that Bernie Sanders is a better choice-the BEST choice.

I agree, and I get the feeling that his heart was really not in it. And from the grueling strain that we know it causes on any serious candidate, your heart really has to be in it.

I think that he is just to grief =-stricken over his son's death. Life has not always been kind to this man when it comes to his family. I hope that he can find some peace.

Lincoln Chafee ends Democratic bid for president Democratic presidential hopeful Lincoln Chafee announced Friday that he is withdrawing from the race, ending a bid that had failed to gain any traction.
Chafee, a former governor and U.S. senator from Rhode Island, used an appearance in Washington at a Democratic National Committee forum on women’s leadership to make his announcement.
Chafee bowed out with a plea for “an end to the endless wars and the beginning of a new era for the United States and humanity.”
“Do we want to be remembered as a bomber of weddings and hospitals?” Chafee said. “Or do we want to be remembered as peacemakers, as pioneers of a more harmonious world?
