CAGiversary!
The GOP really doesn't want this guy to be Secretary of Defense. He breaks the mold of the GOP.
Was listening to the hearing earlier, and McCain had activated his angry old white guy stance.
Apparently, being against the Iraq surge is a damning offense for this nomination, because he really wouldn't let that question go until he finally filled in the answer himself that Hagel was against it.
There were a lot of other R-Senators (and a few D-Senators) really going at it all day. It was weird hearing some of the things that they considered bad for his chances that I would have expected to give him a boost.
Does anyone here have a problem with Hagel? He seems to be a decent choice, given the selection. At the least, he certainly doesn't like the guns blazing approach that many Republicans prefer.
