Just a though... maybe if Obama gives Hagel and McCain positions in his administration.. they could get replaced by Dems... what's the process in those two states for resigning Senators?

1. If accepting a role in Obama's administration

meant a filibuster proof Democratic majority in the Senate, no Republican Senator would accept.

Not. Gonna. Happen.

4. Besides, normally an agreement would be made with the Gov. to pick from the same party. n/t

8. Hagel is already out as you've been told, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him get an appointment

of some kind in the Obama administration. They got on well, and Hagel accompanied him in his Middle-Eastern tour.
