This is about as overt a wave-off as ABC News is willing to make, so enjoy.
Also: there seems to be a real lack of Democratic Senators willing to come out and support Hagel for SecDef. Watching the administration attempt to beat some compliance into the Senate should amuse.
I think the GOP should sit this one out as far as making a whole lot of noise. Of course Hagel is unacceptable, but it more of a burden to the Dems who still have some sensitive Jewish voters and Israel isn’t completely lost as an issue to them.
