A Barack Obama & Chuck Hagel Ticket?

Senator Chuck Hagel is the Republican the GOP should have made their nominee. But he got nothing but discouragement from the national GOP. In that regard, he is like Delaware State House Speaker Terry Spence who was told by the Delaware GOP they didn't want him to run for Governor because he was "too nice" to Democrats.That's apparently an unpardonable sin that operates on the level of the national GOP as well given the shoddy treatment the bi-partisan Hagel has received from his own party. Another sin a Republican elected official should never make is to call a spade a spade and say things like the Iraq war was a failure, the GOP President misled us, and has hurt us internationally.

All statements Hagel has made in the past.In the film Hagel talks sagaciously about the current situation in Iraq and how the Malki government is weak and if it had not been for the intervention of Iran, the Mahdi army would still be handing the Iraqi governments forces their backsides during the recent flareup. Then Keith Olberman pops the million dollar question. Would Hagel join the Democratic Presidential nominee as the VP? Hagel doesn't exactly say no (only that ne never meant himself when he proposed the idea in his latest book). But just imagine an Obama & Hagel ticket. The national GOP would brown their shorts and Obama would show before the election that his intention to govern in a consensus-building manner is genuine.
