A Republican I actually like and his comments on the Palin pick

Chuck Hagel, as far as I can tell, does a good job of representing what the Republican party should be, not what Bush and the neocons have turned it into. He's very much a pragmatist who tries to do what is right, not what toes the party line.

Anywho, I found this interview to be interesting, especially because Hagel is known for his experience when it comes to foreign policy.

Chuck Hagel on Palin

These shams that the McCain campaign keeps trying to pull on the American people when it comes to Palin's foreign policy experience aren't going to work. Seeing Russia from your backyard doesn't give you foreign policy experience, no does sharing a border with Canada. They must think Americans are stupid. They should focus on areas where she does have experience and try to convince us as to why those are important, not make up ridiculous claims to boister her experience where she has none.
