Hagel was co-chairman of Bush's re-election campaign in Nebraska.

Who else would have done it, Ben Nelson? Nelson has always been a republican in a democrat shirt, and he'd switch if it weren't for his loyalty to his former mentor, Frank Morrison. Hagel takes every single opportunity to go against the president, and he's given all of us in western/central Nebraska the finger numerous times. I think we'd know our leaders better than you would.
