Come join out party, not just anyone will do (Part 10)...

So today, I got to add a little more blue to this WAY too red graphic.  

Former Virginia Senator Jim Webb has announced he's running for the Democratic nomination.  He's got less than no chance of getting it, Martin OMalley has more of a chance.  Jim Webb is to the right of Hillary on nearly every issue.  Being to the right of Hillary in a Democratic Primary fight is like...well, like trying to be George Pataki, Chris Christie or other relatively moderate candidates in a Republican primary fight.  

In the Democratic Primaries, you can run to the left of Hillary if you like, as Bernie Sanders is doing, but there's very little to no room remaining to Hillary's left.  And there's even less Democratic Primary voters there.  

But nonetheless, welcome Jim Webb.  I'm sure you'll make a fine Secretary of Defense in the Hillary Clinton Administration come January 2017.
