Former Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Michele Flournoy and Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton Carter are also reportedly contenders, according to Bloomberg.

3. well...

4. Ugh. He had ties

to the voting machine co. that counted the votes when he won his Senate seat. Hagel hid those ties. Sure, he defeated that piece of crap Ben Nelson, but still.

I am a Nebraskan who doesn’t like Chuck Hagel one bit.

5. Do it.

Don't uproot Kerry.

[question everything]

6. I've heard that many conservatives don't like him

which means he will be a good choice.
