Hagel Hems and Haws

Chuck Hagel (R-NE) is mulling over a run for the presidency, something he has been thinking about for more than a year. He intends to make his plans public early in 2007, but the centrist Republican could shake up the party with a fight for the nomination.

Those Republicans from the right, clinging desperately to the shreds of the party of Goldwater and Reagan, are fearing the Republicans getting into the race (Giuliani, McCain, Romney, and now Hagel) would move the Republican party away from its base and into a new slot in the American political spectrum.

But will it work? Who knows?
