There is a superb article in today's Sunday New York Times magazine on Chuck Hagel, Nebraska Senator. He is the best of what the Republican Party has to offer: a true conservative in the best sense. He is pragmatic and well-informed in regards to foreign policy; he supports traditional fiscal responsibility, and he holds to traditional views on social issues. He is intensely critical of the outrageous spending of both parties and is very tough on the GOP - and he should be.

He knows how to listen and when to speak. I watched an interview with him on CSPAN with Brian Lamb. Now there is an article in the NYT (not exactly an unbiased source, but in this case, fair and reasonable) that presents Hagel primarily through his own words. It would be wonderful to have this man of quiet integrity in the White House. He is disliked by the neocons, which makes it difficult. The Dems do not stand a chance against him. The squealing antics, frenzied rage and self-indulgent narcissism and hysteria of the Dems are in direct contrast to Hagel's class and diginity and independence.

Hagel for President! The odds are long, but I can hope.
