Hagel's own rise as the champion of the antiwar conservatives — due to this, this, this, and especially this — is the harbinger of the coming realignment.

The conventional wisdom has it that the GOP rank-and-file will never countenance Hagel's fierce criticism of the president and the war, but the reality is that he is giving voice to their fears of political extinction and their dawning realization that the war was a hoax and a fool's errand from the beginning.

Everybody loves a good conspiracy theory and the revelation that Nebraska Republican Senator Chuck Hagel once ran and is still a major stockholder in the company that owns the company that counted 85 percent of the votes cast in his very own 2002 and 1996 election races is a potential doozy.
On January 29, The Hill reported that Hagel had reported a financial stake worth $1 million to $5 million in the McCarthy Group Inc., a private merchant banking company based in Omaha.
In short, Hagel controlled and still partly owns the only voting machines that counted his votes when he ran for election in 1996 and 2002.

Hagel: Any time you put mandatory caps on any program -- which I'm opposed to -- you are going to have a consequence from that, and I don't think it's going to be a good consequence.

Hagel spoke with Grist from his Senate office in Washington, D.C., about the debate over what's causing global warming, his opposition to mandatory emissions caps, and the divide in the Republican Party between those who do consider climate change an urgent concern and those who don't.
