Cons and Pros
Strangely enough no article has enamoured me more to the prospect of Jim Webb as Vice Presidential candidate that this article by The Economist when it turns critical:
The main worry about Mr Webb, however, is that he is a genuine fire-breathing economic populist. He appears actually to believe the sort of stuff that Mr Obama only says during Democratic primaries.
The Economist dislikes populism for a number of reasons, perhaps the strongest being that populism precedes socialism. This is the sole reason I can stand the stuff.
