""He knows the media loves a self-loathing Republican. And all the accolades showered on Jim Jeffords for bailing on the GOP was not lost on Chuck Hagel.""
this shows really what a fool Hagel is....I neednt say more about Jim Jeffords present situation in the Senate
as for McCain, if he is the nominee in 2008, he wont pick Hagel. McCain would probably pick a very conservative candidate for VP.
