Until his run for the Senate in 2006, Sen. Webb says he never officially affiliated with a political party. Married three times, he has five children ranging in age from 1 to 38. In what he calls a rite of passage like a "Southern bar mitzvah," he says that, except for his toddler, "I've taught all my children how to shoot."

In the current political season, he acknowledges that he has given Sen. Obama advice on how to appeal to "Joe Six-Pack." In an interview, he declined to give specifics of their conversations, saying only, "I think he gets it. He needs to be able to get out in that environment with the right validators."

That "validator" role is one that Sen. Webb appears to be stepping into. Sen. Obama's first campaign stop after clinching the Democratic nomination last week was with Sen. Webb -- hands grasped together in the air -- to Sen. Webb's home state of Virginia, which could be pivotal in this year's election.

Sen. Webb is likely to be on the short list for the expected nominee's vice-presidential choice, according to some Democratic operatives. Not only would he offer a counterbalance to Sen. McCain's military expertise, he could also help Sen. Obama make inroads into the deep South, working-class white males and the military.
