Three things about Hagel
1. He would be forced to drop out of the GOP senate Caucus which helps 2. He could break the back of the REAGAN coalition of social fisccal and military conservatives. 3. He would split the GOP in significant ways in the South and we would wind up winning a plurality there and waltzing in Virgina and Ohio and Florida on election day.
I attended a lecture by Hagel last Friday at Rutgers University (my current higher education institution). He spewed blatantly false facts about Iran supplying Iraqi insurgents with weapons and arms (which was debunked by the WaPo about a week ago). Also, in 2006 no senator voted with the Bush administration more than Hagel. So, anti-war folk who would consider voting for Hagel need to do some more research on how Hagel actually isn't moderate at all. The Democratic candidate will get us out of the war AND help the middle and working class.
Pretty much only chose Middle Eastern studies staff, but his answers were interesting. I've been busy with exams and hw (remember - organic chemistry test!) but all that is over so I'll have time later tonight or tomorrow to post an overview of the questions that were asked and Hagel's answers.
the antiwar crwd may be amped up over Iraq..but no way they vote for a Republican shill like Hagel.
No the deal is that he pulls far more votes away form the Republican social coservative base than I can count
Obams vs Guiliani vs. Hagel? We would have a chance to win every state. Even in the deep south. WHy? We got 98% of the black vote and 30$ of the white vote with Kerry as our nominee. If Rudy is the nominee, Hegel will pick up 30% of the "Values Voters" that only leave 30% for Rudy.
