Pick Webb!
Reihan makes a strong case:
Whether or not McCain and his allies were right on the merits -- it
is by no means obvious that they were not -- there is no denying that
the Virginia Senator has successfully maneuvered the presumptive
Republican nominee into the profoundly unpopular position of being against
a measure designed to honor the service and the sacrifice of veterans
of Iraq and Afghanistan. Can Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius say the
same thing? Or Ohio Governor Ted Strickland? Former Georgia Senator Sam
Nunn has been praised for his national security expertise. But did he
resign from the Reagan-era Pentagon, as Webb did, after resisting
orders to downsize the Navy?
The question is no longer whether Barack Obama should select Jim Webb as his nominee. It is whether he can justify not doing so.
