It's a realistic scenario if we aren't effective in getting the warnings out about the Senator from France. I do think Hagel's in-person demeanor can be a little Kerry-ish, as opposed to the McCain straight talk smilin' stuff that people liked. Hagel's better at pandering to his masters in the MSM than he is at speaking to real people, at least that's my impression from afar.

Any analysis that doesn't mention George Allen ain't worth lookin at tho.

A few points...considering who the students' professors are, Bayh getting the Dem nomination over Hillary is preposterous.

Hagel's campaign will last less time than Lieberman's..

Hagel is always referred to as a Vietnam veteran in the MSM. I've heard whispers from a few folks that there's a lot of resume padding there, even worse than Harkin did. We shall see..

Bump to that.

These students say Hagel will win the primaries because he represents "the quintessential New Hampshire candidate (with) unquestioned credentials on defense and fiscal management."

That line there tells you all you need to know about what this analysis is worth. If I'm not mistaken, you have to go all the way back to at least Reagan to find a winner of the GOP NH primary who went on to capture the nomination.
