The 2016 presidential race is officially underway! The first candidate in the race has announced an exploratory committee, the devil's-in-the-details first step to actually running for president. Surprisingly, it's a Democrat - Jim Webb, Vietnam-era Marine Corp veteran, former Virginia senator and Secretary of the Navy under President Reagan. Realistically, he's a long shot, even if Hillary opts not to run and an exploratory committee is slightly less official than actually saying "I declare my candidacy..." but still, it's a traditional first step and sure to be the first of many. Here's how cnn is covering it, and here's a link to Webb's on-line announcement.
Days until election day: 718
