Let's hope he picks a Democrat to replace him for once.

Let's hope for the Republicans' sake that they don't put it that way.

Hope springs eternal, young friend.  I have a feeling the next guy will be more like Rummy/Cheney rather than Hagel.  Any Democrats fit that mold?

Colin Powell is pretty much a Democrat at this point.

Kerry has botched everything he's touched and it's Hagel that gets the axe?  Makes no sense.

Apparently, Reed's not interested.

Drats, I wanted to get Angel Taveras to the Senate.

In spite of his strong opposition to Hagel's confirmation, McCain is sticking up for his old pal

Sad to hear this. Hagel was by far the best member of the cabinet.

Well this was unexpected. I'm sorry to see him go. Even when he was a Senator I still thought he was a good man.


Like anyone outside of Texas cares what Cruz thinks.

The trial balloons being floated suggest Ashton Carter or Michelle Flurnoy. The Republican reception seems positive to these two names.

Good. I wouldn't trust Hagel to run my neighborhood library.

Ashton Carter would make a good pick. Doubt he'll be it, though.

Glad Jack Reed declined. We need every Democratic Senator on deck.

That's too bad. He'll probably be replaced with someone worse.
