Actually I meant he'd get more independent votes that would normally go to Republicans...

Again, I don't see Hagel getting many GOP votes. The reason he would even consider running as an independent is that he has at least faced the reality that he has no chance of winning the GOP nomination. His Bush-bashing and increasingly anti-Iraq war stance will only appeal to the left, particularly if Hillary is the nominee as the anti-war left is ticked off at her for her "moderate" stance on the war.

"I guess Hagel wants Hillary to get elected...."

Here we go again, the crinton machine is setting up a third party "moderate" to split the vote and get Hitlery in....just like they did with Bill.

"Sounds like a perfect plan to get Hillary elected - splitting the conservative and independent voters."

Just like 92 and 96....

Sounds like trouble at the bend ahead.

Wishful thinking, snookie. If he runs, Hagel will get even fewer votes than Pat did, if that's possible.

In a Hagel v. Buchanan match up, put me down as a vote for Pat.

i believe if Hagel doesnt, McAsshat would.....it would be "revenge" on the GOP for rejecting him time and time again

I think McCain is vain enough to actually try to win the GOP primary....
