He sees the Republican Party drifting far, far, far to the right on social issues and a lot of other things-- and he's not happy with it.

He's really going back to his Democratic roots - which is very significant, because it shows where the Republican Party is and where it has moved. And maybe where tens of millions of Reagan Democrats are at. If James Webb is representative to any extent of these Reagan Democrats, which I think he is, I think this can be very significant for the Democratic Party.

Remember, the Democratic Party used to be a coalition of Northern liberals and Southern conservatives - and we lost that. I think here's a chance to start to win that back.

I believe the right wing of the Republican Party is deliberately undermining the democratic underpinnings of this country,

Right now, a higher proportion of Catholic voters (than in the past) would identify with the Republican Party, or some of the themes that the Republican candidates have been using.

The Republican Party is not inclusive.
