Is Hagel Flirting With Unity?

In Shailagh Murray’s front-page Washington Post profile of Chuck Hagel today, the Nebraska senator mentions the possibility that he’ll join a “unity ticket” with a Democratic running mate. Murray doesn’t say so, but Hagel isn’t just musing--he has a specific outfit in mind. That outfit is Unity08, an internet-based third-party recently founded by veterans of the Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford administrations that’s designed to bring about the kind of bipartisanship that continues to elude Washington. The current issue of The Atlantic features Joshua Green’s profile of the Unity08 founders and explains why Hagel’s third-party flirtation isn’t (quite) as farfetched as it initially might seem.

Good. Two Republicans in the race means a Democratic President.

Did you see the new Newsweek article? Hagel would never run under a 3rd party banner. Besides, he's got voting record that would McCain look liberal(and McCain's record is pretty far to the right).
