3. He won't leave them.
He's in lockstep with them on just about everything else. Firmly in lockstep.

4. He is only leaving the pubs on certain issues, like Iraq
Don't be fooled. With that said, he is doing what he should be doing, voting for Country before Party. Good for him on that. Wish it would happen more often.

5. Hagel just voted to give Bush* the line-item veto.
So did Lieberman. Fortunately, the cloture motion was defeated.

6. I believe that he intends to offer new themes which the Republican faithful can
cultivate. Bush and his neo-con cohorts have shot their wad. Everybody with more than a lizard brain knows that. Hagel prbably laments -more than ever- the passing of Eisenhower's themes. Should the baying, salivating, crotch-sniffing Bush style Republicans continue to carry the party's themes through the next two years - Republican will become a synonym for Whig in America.
