So, what do you guys think about Chuck Hagel? He's been getting a lot of pub lately for being the harshest Republican critic of the Iraq War. In fact, he was way ahead of a lot of Democrats on voicing early opposition to the war, though he did initially vote for the AUMF that led us there.

Some of his other positions keep him off my short list of candidates I'd vote for, but if the primaries come and go and my choices are Chuck Hagel or a Democrat with a muddled/inconsistent position on the Iraq war, I might have to do some serious thinking.
