Senatorial Survivor?

If you had a chance to vote one Republican senator "off the island", who would it be? Vote in our latest poll at the top left of the page. After the filibuster compromise and some other recent actions by "moderate" GOP senators, it's a very full field. It could have been even more crowded, but I decided to leave Arlen Specter and George "The Sad Clown" Voinovich off the list. Specter has actually been fairly reliable of late and I don't want to make Voinovich cry (again).

My choice? The oh so senatorial one locked up my vote with this gem:

In an interview late last week with U.S. News Senior Writer Kevin Whitelaw, Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska blasted the Bush administration's performance in the Iraq operation, using some of his strongest language yet "Things aren't getting better; they're getting worse. The White House is completely disconnected from reality," he said. "It's like they're just making it up as they go along. The reality is, we're losing in Iraq."

You know what's "disconnected from reality" Chuck? Any talk of you becoming the GOP nominee for president in '08.
