With ServerGate, he is the 'dark horse' in the race.[edit]

Look for Jim Webb (crystal ball) to do well at the DNC convention (and in preceding debates) since he is more in the tradition of blue collar democrats of the past than what we see in HRClinton and other like 'progressives'. With ServerGate and other current news, I don't see much coverage of vet and former senator Jim Webb. You could say he is the 'dark horse' in the race. Am I missing something? He spoke well recently at the Iowa State Fair. -- AstroU (talk) 04:11, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. But in addition to a good campaign team, he will need backers/donors. Does he have these? How is he doing? Does he have the requisite support? -- Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 12:58, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Where is the 'See also' section[edit]

This article can be expanded. -- AstroU (talk) 12:33, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
