Webb As Senator
Fallows, who has known Webb for nearly thirty years and wrote an Atlantic cover story with him, makes the case against Webb as veep. Bottom line - it would make Webb miserable:
Jim Webb has arranged his life so as to maximize his intellectual and
personal independence, and minimize the things he "has" to do and the
bosses he must answer to. Novelist, essayist, journalist, movie-maker
-- through the two decades before his Senate race he's been his own
boss as much as possible, and has clearly relished saying exactly what
he believes. The federal government office that most nicely matches his
previous life is the one he now holds: as a U.S. Senator.
