Having lived in Nebraska, the state which also brought you Bob Kerrey, the people vote for the military, they are military, and are very conservative. They travel, understand the world, have wealth, but want to keep everything the same, forever. Rigid business structures, and ways of operating.
Makes sense that veteran Hagel was duly voted into power in the nineties, despite a come from behind in the polls the night before.
He had owned the voting machine company, ES&S, and to those who are conspiracists, or see the e-voting scam for what it is, a good business plan to gain control by the ballot box and make money, no suprise they credit that mid-nineties win as setting the stage for realizing the later stolen gains as possible. No wonder in 2000 that all the GOP and Bush said during the recount that computers were the answer, in unison on television. A come from behind win for Chambliss over Cleland in 2002, and testimony of illegal patches over paperless touchscreen, furthered the plan and GOP dominance. Next came HAVA in 2002, then the 90% of vote shifts from Kerry to Bush in 2004.
So here we have the duality: a good band of brother for Kerry, who speaks up when he can but doesn't vote his words (like all the GOP under the whip, think Olympia Snowe, who deserves some independence), or as voting activists see it, the Manchurian Candidate.
Interesting to watch how and if he moves forward to a candidacy. Despite his curious beginnings, far better than Guliani (as spoken as a NYer) and not-so maverick McCain. Forget the Mittster.
Lots of intrigue! (Had to correct grammar to the state 'which from who.')
