I am a registered Democrat, but I like what I have heard from him. He is a decoraated Vietnam Vet, unlike anyone in the Bush administration, and he is an outspoken opponent of our involvement in Iraq. Even as a Democrat, I would be tempted to vote for him if he runs. He's got guts.

I prefer Sam Brownback of Kansas over Chuck Hagel.. Plenty of experience, leadership positions, and results. Check Sam Brownback on Wikipedia.
However, to be practical, you've got to look at the three current Republican frontrunners (McCain, Giuliani, and Gingrich). It looks like Giuliani is ahead in the current polls, but he doesn't represent an awful lot of midwestern Republicans, and Gingrich doesn't have the charisma and is running 3rd anyway. McCain is the man to ask when you want straight answers.

I consider myself a Democrat as well but I also like what he's said concerning the war in Iraq. I don't agree with him on some other issues but he does have guts standing up to Bush. Of all the other Republican Presidential candidates I think he's definetly the best choice.

Hagel has this nasty habit of speaking his mind and sometimes agreeing with Democrats. Those traits are pretty much unforgivable amongst the right-wing hierarchy. I wouldn't vote for him..there are too many good options on the other side to consider a Republican in 2008.

I agree with your opinion. I too, like plain-speaking politicians.

I don't think much of him if he's a Republican.
