Hagel on MTP

Senator Chuck Hagel was on Meet the Press, this morning and discussed his future political ambitions and a recent dinner with Mayor Bloomberg that got a considerable amount of press.

Hagel has recently been discussed as a potential running mate for Bloomberg, and many believe that a Bloomberg/Hagel ticket would be perfect for the Unity08 movement.

On MTP, Hagel said there is a potential for a successful independent candidacy in 2008, and did not rule out switching parties himself.
