There may be a new subject of the unending hype about a third-party presidential candidate. Hotline on Call reports that Republican Senator Chuck “Hagel was a guest on C-SPAN’s ‘Newsmakers’ and the network’s P.R. dept. is trumpeting Hagel’s non-answer to the question of whether he’d run for the WH as an indie”:

[T]he non-answer to the question about an indie run in ’08: “I have not decided I am going to run for president, so maybe that’ll be the next set of questions that you could ask after I decide what I’m going to do.”

I like Chuck Hagel, but he’s not going to have more success as a third party candidate than anyone else.
