Actual straight talker Chuck Hagel (R-NE) is everything John Sidney McCain III claims to be. He's a conservative Republican, but he's also willing to backhand the GOP establishment when he feels it's necessary.
This is one of those times. Per TPM:
"Joe Biden is the right partner for Barack Obama. His many years of distinguished service to America, his seasoned judgment and his vast experience in foreign policy and national security will match up well with the unique challenges of the 21st Century. An Obama-Biden ticket is a very impressive and strong team. Biden's selection is good news for Obama and America."
This is about as close to an out-and-out endorsement of the Democratic ticket as somebody as conservative as Hagel can get. Spread it far and wide -- piss off Karl Rove!
