WASHINGTON - Chuck Hagel will announce Monday that he is retiring from the U.S. Senate and will not run for president next year, people close to the Nebraska Republican said Friday.
Hagel plans to announce that "he will not run for re-election and that he does not intend to be a candidate for any office in 2008," said one person, who asked not to be named.
Hagel has scheduled a press conference for 10 a.m. Monday at the Omaha Press Club.
According to one person interviewed, Hagel told Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky on Friday morning that he had decided to retire. Hagel's staff learned of his decision that afternoon.
The North Platte native earned national recognition as perhaps the most vocal, at times angry, GOP critic of the Bush administration's Iraq policies.
His outspokenness on Iraq and other key issues, including Social Security and foreign policy, fueled national interest in Hagel as he flirted with a possible presidential bid.

I see a few RINOs here and there leaving for bluer pastures.
An entirely satisfactory state of affairs, but one one element of a successful rebuilding.
Now we have to get men and women of conservative principles to step forward and we have to elect them.
One less RINO to contend with now.

good.

Best news I’ve read today.
I was among your group, once, myself. I started going after Hagel when he first started running from TV Station to TV Station to undermine the war in Iraq.
If you’re from the Omaha area and listen to KFAB, you might remember one of the “regular” callers spending a lot of on-air time accusing Hagel of undermining the war to increase his TV face time and gain national recognition so he would be in position to run for President.
GOOD NEWS!
Not running for President....HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH!!!! He can’t get elected DOG CATCHER as a Republican!! What a SAD SACK of SH@T.
I guess he won after all.
Who wants to throw a BIG going-away party????
According to Omaha radio (KFAB) discussion yesterday morning when this broke, Senator Kerry (yep the Nebraska one) is waiting for his re-entre. Heck, I wouldn’t put it past Kerry to have coordinated with Hagel. Hagel is just so bitter.
Woooooooooooooooo! Hooooooooooooooo!
>>”NO. In fact, we are going to contribute to ANYONE who runs against you”.<<
I love it. Thanks for helping to drive this RINO from our midst!
Hopefully his staff leaves with him.
Chuck Hagel looks into the future and sees what's coming down the pike....

Will RINO Carlito Hagel join MSDNC as a ‘Conservative’ that agrees with everything the Lib Chris Matthews says?
Nice!
BTW - you guys have anyone waiting in the wings who would be a suitable (ie real conservative)?
