<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The Republican Senator from Nebraska was a political thorn in McCain's side on Tuesday night, repeatedly lavishing praise on the presumptive Democratic candidate and levying major foreign policy criticisms at the GOP nominee and the Republican Party as a whole. At one point, Hagel even urged the Arizona Republican to elevate his campaign discourse to a higher, more honest level.
<b>I'm very upset with John with some of the things he's been saying. And I can't get into the psychoanalysis of it. But I believe that John is smarter than some of the things he is saying.</b> <!--emo&

.....
Hagel then offered a wry tweak of his GOP colleague. "<b>I am confident that if Obama is elected president that is the approach we will take</b>. And my friend John McCain said some other things about that. We'll see, but in my opinion it has to be done. It is essential."
....
And when asked to respond to rumors circulating within political circles that the Bush administration was ginning up the possibility of war with Iran,<b> the Senator even raised the specter of impeachment</b>.

I live in a swing state and based on what I see, Nov '08 will be one of the worst election seasons for republicans. Average republicans that I know of are more in tune with Hagel than McCain.
Instead of this phony "maverick" McCain with no clue of economics, republicans should have either gone for Romney or Hagel. Romney and Hagel were successful businessmen unlike McCain or Bush.
If Obama picks Hagel as his VP(Hagel had indicated his willingness in the past), McCain should look forward to his retired life in florida. <!--emo&--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
