"The interesting question is, why? Why waste the political capital?"
Because he can't "waste" political capital. His supporters, especially in the media, will support anything he does. Anything. And his detractors won't. He knows that so he'll whatever he wants at any given time. There's no downside.
To: Kaslin
Obama’s first choice was the Blind Sheik, who
refused to change parties for Obama.

Because he can't "waste" political capital. Agreed. Obama is certainly in a privileged position, with infinite political capital.

The Republicans, peering out from their hiding place in the tall grass, will overwhelmingly vote to confirm. That’s my prediction...

I believe your post is really close.
Of course there is nothing Bi-Partisan about this pick.
There is nothing Republican about Chuck Hagel exceptthe party he chose to state that he belonged to.
It would have been hard for Obama to pick someone that is on a higher RINO scale than Chuck Hagel.
If he had picked Charles Manson the media would endorse it.

Hagel is the bone tossed over the junkyard fence to occupy the dogs while Obama picks the lock to gain entry.
Watch for what he does while the stoopid Republicans are grandstanding the nomination.

You got the "t" and the "s" backwards in "this".

hitlery was the worst SOS — dumb as the day is long.
This guy is just equally bad.
To: Kaslin
It could have been worse..he could have nominated the lady mentioned in the piece as the first female secretary to show how inclusive his administration is...
Personally I’ll take a liberal Republican who was a grunt and decorated combat veteran over just about anyone else O would have nominated...
To: gov_bean_ counter
you are far to kind towards this ass clown.
To: Joe Boucher
Well, I did read my devotional this morning.
which is having less and less of a shelf life these days when it comes to this cretin.
