Many will be skeptical of the story because it is from an anonymous source. That's fair and understandable. You should also know a bit about the author of the piece in judging its credibility.
Pat Hynes, the author of this piece, is a freeper (Screen Name: Kerry Crusher). He is the former political director for the New Hampshire Republican Committee.
His previous job was with the Republican media consulting firm Marsh Copsey + Scott where he worked on many Congressional and Senate campaigns, as well as being hired by the NRCC to run campaigns.
He took a leave frmo that position and just finished working for the CATO Institute, where he wass in charge of message development and dissemination for Social Security Reform.
He is also a frequent contributor to the American Spectator, Townhall, Tech Central Station and numerous other conservative publications. He is the co-author of the book How To Write Copy That Gets Votes.
He was lured away from CATO by a public relations firm in his native New Hampshire, where he has just moved with his wife and daughter.

Much of that disaffection with the Republican Party is personified by Hagel.

This a$$hole better not do that. He'd filter off more GOP than Dems most likely...and ensure a President Hillary.

Sounds like he is trying to split the Republican ticket and get Frau Hitlery elected.

If he actually comes out with some sort of counter plan regarding Iraq, then, I'd say he probably is running. I think all he's done so far is be contrary.

Hagal is fool and doesn't concern me.
However...
"Should Senator John McCain win the GOP primary..." now THAT is a concern because it means the Rep party is in nearly the same condition the Dems are in: bad. The only way I'd vote for McCain is if he was running against Hillary.

The $$$, resources, and organizational talent needed to get on the ballot as a third party candidate is HUGE, and it wonn't be there for Hagel..what the GOP needs to do is win a few more Senate seats, then started taking some of these RINOS to the woodshed..especially those from RED states..

What this country needs if a viable strong conservative third party to pull Dems and Pubs right-of-center.
Until then, the difference between the two major parties is negligible.
Hagel, McCain, hClinton, Kerry, Biden, LGraham -- not a dime's worth of difference.

Pubbie field for 08 is going to turn out to be as ludicrous* as the Dem 04 field of 12 or 14 who started.
Not a real winner in the bunch: Hagel, McCain, Frist, L Graham, Gingrich, Lott**
-----
* ludicrous: (1)Broadly or extravagantly humorous; resembling farce. (2)Completely devoid of wisdom or good sense.
**Is he after his old Majority Leader job or using his book tour to test the wind?
