Senator James Webb (D) of Virginia has decided to not seek a second term. Senator Webb has been serving our country in one form or another for a good chunk of my lifetime, and I believe that the Senate will be diminished by his absence.
Webb is a combat veteran from Vietnam, and has worked hard at championing the causes of veterans and service members. He is an old style gentleman, who even if I disagree with some of his views, can still show respect and be respected.
Look for the fight over his seat to be extremely contentious as the two dominant parties gouge, kick, and bite over control of the Senate in 2012.
