Hagel in the wind, or waiting in the weeds.

I was hoping that Chuck Hagel would announce that he was running for the Republican nomination. He made an elaborate show out of saying that he was not going to decide until later this year. I was disappointed, but maybe he's right. This coming presidential election is starting to resemble the Christmas season, as it seems to be starting in July. The fall before the election year should be when you announce. How sick of these people are we going to be when the actual primaries start in roughly a YEAR. I'm an addict in following politics, and I think even I will start to tire of it. In other countries the elections last about a month. That leaves an abundance of free time.
