I think we all have not-so-positive feeling towards Senator Chuck Hagel (R-Grandstanding).
This article is the first public one I've seen indicating that Hagel may be facing a tough challenge next year.
I read the article over lunch today and I found it to be pretty fair and accurate. According to the article, "Hagel has voted with the president more than any other member of the U.S. Senate, according to a tally done by Congressional Quarterly."
Comments or opinions - anyone?

And for some reason he has an anger to George Bush that is not particularly productive. That describes many clowns on this forum.

Any remarks? I’m sure his stance on the Senate Immigration bill also cost him standing in Nebraska.

Jon Bruning was interviewed on TGO’s show a week or two ago, and he was very impressive. Seems solidly conservative and very personable.

He's every liberal networks favorite Republican - first they can have some big mouth liberal Dem bash Bush for 10 minutes, then, for "balance", Chuck Hagel comes on and bashes him for 10 minutes. This is how to get lots of air-time if you are a Republican!
How did he vote on the Amnesty bill? If he voted for Amnesty, along w/ his other sins, I'd consider supporting his primary opponent.

Love to see Hagel go.
He is a 'Kennedy' Republican.

“Chuck Hagel’s antiwar stance could make him a serious Republican candidate for the White House in 2008...” Not. Consider the source of this: Newsweek. A wholly owned subsidiary of the Wash Post, whose reporters think any Republican who opposes the war is a sure bet. In their dreams. I feel like sending this Bruning guy some money. Hagel’s head has become so large he has trouble passing through doorways. Also, he voted for the immigration bill. So thumbs down on Hagel.

Hagel has gone from an ACU rating of 96 in 2005, to one of 75, in 2006
Thats a substantial turn left

What is going to p.o. everyone is when other Senate Republicans, even ones that we would think would not do so, will end up in Nebraska campaigning for Hagel. Liberal or not he is still a club member.

Hapless Hagel....Sad Sack Hagel...what a LOSER!!!

That describes many clowns on this forum.
George Bush worked very hard for 6 years to earn the ire of many of his most dedicated supporters. And it is very sad and frustrating to most of us who take no pleasure whatsoever in being displeased with the President we loved and admired.
You act as if he has been perfect and has done nothing wrong and all of a sudden people just decided to be angry with him.

Well that’s what happens when one keeps running headlong into a brick wall that is the illegal alien issue.
George’s pissed off a lot of people with this latest immigration bill. I support the foreign policy to the end, but from the domestic perspective, only thing worse in my mind than the proposed immigration legislation is a prospect for socialist health care.
