Anyone else a little worried that Obama might respond to

Chuck Hagel's recent posturing by offering him the V.P. position?

He's good on Iraq but he's a hard liner on other issues, especially pro-life.

2. I think he'll respond with a gracious thank you.

And not much more.

3. Good for the election, possible trainwreck for everything else.

4. He won't put Hagel on the ticket. Hagel just knows wrong this war is

I think the people who beat the drum for this war, really piss him off.

5. Hagel could secure himself a place...

...in the cabinet. I don't see much more for him though. Come November, I don't think we'll be seeing "Unity" tickets on either side, despite much talk now. I could be pleasantly surprised by a McCain/Lieberman ticket though. Maybe that's the DLCs "backup plan".

8. McCain/Lieberman would be the most uninspiring ticket ever put together.

11. Wouldn't that be McCain/Loserman? Don't the Repukes have

a lot of bumper stickers they could recycle?

6. I really don't think he's getting VP, thank god.

But I'm fine with letting him do op-eds in the Wall Street journal hammering McSellout for Iraq. Let him go on tv and trash him.

9. No, not really

I can't imagine him picking any Republican for VP.

10. No but I would still support the ticket if he did.

I have his latest book, "America, The Next Chapter" and it is very good. I don't fear Hagel.

12. I don't have a problem with Hagel in the cabinet ...

but I don't want him as VP. Obama is running as a Democrat. It is his responsibility to choose a running mate who will uphold Democratic principles if he/she has to take over as president. There are PLENTY of wonderful, qualified Democrats to choose from and honestly, I will lose faith in Obama if he can't find one.
