Sen. Jim Webb (Va.), considered one of the favorites to be picked as Sen. Barack Obama’s (Ill.) running mate on the Democratic ticket, announced Monday that he would not be a candidate for the job. “Last week I communicated to Sen. Obama and his presidential campaign my firm intention to remain in the United States Senate, where I believe I am best equipped to serve the people of Virginia and this country,” Webb said. “Under no circumstances will I be a candidate for vice president.” The former Navy secretary said he “entered elective politics because of my commitment to strengthen America's national security posture, to promote economic fairness, and to increase government accountability.” Webb added that he has “worked hard to deliver upon that commitment, and I am convinced that my efforts and talents toward those ends are best served in the Senate.” The senator said the recent passage of his GI Bill has given him “renewed confidence that the Congress can indeed work effectively across party lines and address the concerns of our citizens.”

The decision was made that Webb isn't ready to step in as president if Mr. Obama trips down a flight of stairs.
If Obummer wins, Jesse Jackson will be in charge of the Treasury Dept. and Al Sharpton will be in charge of receivables at IRS.
The Rev. Wright will be the religiosity point man, David Dinkins will be in charge of Competence and Maya Angelou will be the new Secretary of Dramatics.
