Sen. Chuck Hagel (R) Nebraska
Fifth on the list is senator Chuck Hagel. He is only so high because he is a war-criticizing moderate who cannot be successfully tied to the unpopular administration. He has also recieved a lot of publicity, and is percieved as a moderate. The cons are that when he first ran for Senate in 1996, his opponent was leading him by a huge margin. However, Hagel owned the voting machine company that supplied most of the voting machines to the state of Nebraska. Hagel won in an unprecendented upset, all of the exit polls stated that his opponent had beaten him badly. If the Democrats can frame this well enough, count Hagel out of the running.
