Watch out, Hillary! Former senator from Virginia Jim Webb announced Wednesday night that he is launching an exploratory committee for a run at the Democratic presidential nomination. "Over the past few months thousands of concerned Americans from across the political spectrum have urged me to run for president," he said on YouTube. "I have decided to launch an exploratory committee to examine whether I should run for president in 2016. I made this decision after reflecting on numerous political commentaries." Webb talked up his military service as well as his work as a public servant. Webb is the first potential Democratic candidate to launch an exploratory committee.
