Regarding Chuck Hagel not yet facing the voter subsequent to "betraying the President," the Republicans have faced the voter, and we have lost our majorities in the Senate, in the House, in Governorships, and in control of state legislatures.

Nice sound bite, but it has nothing to do with Hagel. The last time he was re-elected (by 60 points), he had just voted for the war in Iraq.

Unless Nebraska is a microcosm of the entire country (I wish), your point is moot. Hagel will face a conservative constituency that is far more loyal to the President than the country at large.
