We hardly knew ye...

Apparently Chuck Hagel's presidential campaign is over before it started. While I doubt I could have been persuaded to vote him b/c of his mercurial behavior, he would have added something unique among the current crop of GOP hopefuls: a multi-lateralist, non-interventionist foreign policy voice.

In other news, he's apparently not going to run for reelection to the Senate, which is too bad. That will put another Senate seat in play for the Dems.

Hagel's definitely a man of his word: he is fighting for term limits in Congress, and his decision to not run for a third term is a self-imposed term limit.

As fredo said, not sure if I would've voted for him, but I do think the primary will be weaker for his absence. He was a strong voice that would have provided some contrast to other candidates.
