Decision 2008: Hagel to announce 2008 plans.....


Nebraska U.S. Senator Chuck Hagel announced Wedensday that he will announce his plans for 2008 monday. Hagel has been suggested as a possible presidential candidate, so he could announce his canddiacy monday, however he could even announce he will not run for president and not even for reelection in 2008. Hagel is a strong opponent of the troop surge in Iraq and has often been the GOP leader of attacks on the president. He co-sponsored that non-binding resolution last week against the trrop surge. Hagel is likely going to be the last to decide among the GOP except for of course Newt Gingrich. Hagel's candidacy shouldn't be underestimated, because it is expected that he will perform well in key early states. I guess we will all have to tune in on Monday and see if Hagel will make a run for the White House or step out of the political spotlight.
