Some are buzzing about Chuck Hagel, a strong critic of Bush and the war, for the Democratic ticket. A bold idea or political fantasy?
  • Now now...

    @ dataguyx who says "Exactly who would Chuck Hegel attract that is currently not attracted to Obama? I can't think of anyone save a few thousand confused farmers in NE."

    Being from said state, I can assure you that they are not confused. They are merely over-subsidized and extremely grateful for the government agricultural welfare legislation allowing them to spend their afternoons at the casinos. In Iowa. We're too prudish to actually benefit from retaining revenues resulting from government hand-outs.

    That said, I can't even grow a decent tomato in my backyard, so how can I possibly understand the travails of the every-day Nebraska farmer?
