I can’t name all of the Republican presidential candidates, and I don’t feel bad about that. What is amazing to me is the number of Democratic candidates. There’s Clinton, of course, and Sanders. And now Jim Webb. And the guy from Maryland whose name slips my mind. And Lincoln Chafee, whom I didn’t even know was a Democrat. Did I leave one out?
I’ve always wondered why people who have no chance to win run for President. Jim Webb was an excellent senator, and I like his politics, but he has no chance whatsoever. On the other hand, Clinton could mess up badly, Sanders could say something stupid, and a path open up. Maybe that is Webb’s hope.
