"the party is struggling over its philosophical direction. The old conservatism is in crisis" The old conservatism does not have an eloquent spokesperson. Nute Gengrich is well spoken but has baggage that gets in the way of what he has to say. Guliani is popular with the old guard but is not bringing the breath of fresh air the disheartened are looking for. Simply going against the policies of the Bush Admin, or Iraq war is no going to generate much enthusiasm for conservatives, as it looks more like appeasement to Democrat whiners. Hagel was onto something when he spoke of the country "experiencing a political reorientation, a redefining and moving toward a new political center of gravity" and of our current problems "overtaking the ideological debates of the last three decades." And he hinted that he might seek the White House as an independent. "This movement is bigger than both parties," he said, tantalizingly. I agree that the country is in the midst of redefining itself but I don't see what Hagel brings to the table.
