Senior Republican Senator Chuck Hagel on Palin
³I think they ought to be just honest about it and stop the
nonsense about, ÂŒI look out my window and I see Russia and so
therefore I know something about Russia¹,² Hagel said. ³That
kind of thing is insulting to the American people.²
Republican Former Representative Jim Leach
³Barack Obama¹s platform is a call for change. But the change
that he is so gracefully articulating is more renewal than
departure. While a break from the ideological policies of the
moment, it is rooted in very old American values that are as
much a part of the Republican as the Democratic tradition.
There¹s an emphasis on individual rights, fairness and
balance at home, and progressive internationalism.²
