Jim Webb, Virginia Democratic Senator, has announced that he will not seek re-election, complicating Democratic efforts to hold his seat and their Senate majority in the 2012 election.
"[A]fter much thought and consideration I have decided to return to the private sector, where I have spent most of my professional life, and will not seek re-election in 2012," said Webb.
"Democrats will have great difficulty finding an electable candidate for this open seat as Virginians continue to reject their agenda of higher taxes and reckless spending.
looks like the republican party might not be as extinct as was once proclaimed..
the sad thing is that so many moderate democrats are not seeking re-election, but few far left seem to want to leave DC.
but then with little to no marketable skills who else would hire them?
