Jim Webb exits Democratic Presidential Primary; may leave the Democratic Party...

Well, Webb is closer on foreign policy to Republicans than he is to Democrats. Hopefully, moderate Democrats, if any are left, will exit the Democratic Party with Webb. The Democratic Party is now the party of left-wing extremists.

Via WaPo:
Former Virginia senator Jim Webb announced Tuesday afternoon that he would no longer pursue the Democratic presidential nomination, saying that he will instead gauge support in the coming weeks for a possible White House bid as an independent candidate.
"More people in this country call themselves political independents than Republicans or Democrats. I happen to agree with them," Webb told reporters at a news conference at the National Press Club in Washington.
"I am withdrawing from any consideration of being the Democratic Party's nominee for the presidency," he said. “This does not reduce in any way my concerns for the challenges facing the country … or my intentions to remain fully engaged in the debates that are facing us."
During a question-and-answer session with reporters following Tuesday's announcement, Webb said he has yet to decide if he will remain a registered Democrat.
