I am a twentysomething libertarian Democrat and a civil servant in the federal defense community.
After seeing the debate sparked by Matt Stoller's post about James Webb, I wanted to throw in my thoughts some of Webb's seemingly "contraversial" views.
In particular, I wanted to take on the notions that Webb is a "Reagan Democrat," that he has an ambiguous stance on same-sex marriage and that he is a Southern populist. I would also like to explain to progressive bloggers and Webb-skeptics why he is a perfect candidate to run against George Allen
