Webb as Veep?

I gave a speech this morning in Richmond, VA to VPAP, the Virginia Public Policy Access Project -- a great group whose mission is to make it easy for folks to search for Virginia political contributions on the net. 

During my remarks, I noted that the "macaca" moment did several things.  It swung the Senate to the Dems -- stopped the candidate most "insiders" believed would be the GOP nominee -- and it also gave us Jim Webb -- who (I noted) has a good chance of being Obama's running mate ...

James Fallows argues that Jim Webb would be great electorally, but that being Veep would make him miserable.
