NE-Sen: Chuck Hagel, another Republican to break term-limit pledge?

Chuck Hagel can't decide whether he's running for president. Heck, he can't even decide if he's running for re-election in the Senate. But while the indecisive Hagel waits on a decision (what better way to extract concessions from the GOP leadership than play coy in the Senate and threaten retirement if he doesn't get what he wants?), he's starting to raise money for reelection.

Meanwhile, while Hagel decides on his future in the Senate, let's remember what he said when he first ran for the office:

I support Term Limits. However, I will not need Term Limits. Twelve years in Congress is enough for anyone. We should return to our Founding Fathers' concept of "citizen-legislator," and Term-Limits would help preserve that ideal. When elected officials stay too long in the same job, they become institutionalized and co-opted by the system. Term Limits will allow our system to reach out and encourage Americans from all walks of life to serve our country. This would provide fresh, energetic, diverse, real-life experience leadership in Congress. What a change that would be!

Let's see if he lives up to his own ideals or, as usual, if the system has co-opted Chuck Hagel.
