Hagel and Lindsey Graham supported McCain in 2000...citing their military background meshing with his. They were 'concerned' that GWB had no foreign policy experience. Both were considerably exercised at GWB's 'tactics' in South Carolina (they particularly reference the 'attacks' on Cindy and questions about JM being a Manchurian Candidate).
Ironically, this is the same complaint the Dems had about 'tactics' used against Max Cleland. They can't take it - but they sure can dish it out.
I remember!!!!
