Obama Defense nominee Hagel co-chaired McCain 2000 pres. campaign, McCain said he wanted Hagel to be his Defense Sec., two were best buds

1/31/13, "Hagel pummeled by McCain, others as opposition mounts," Yahoo News, Olivier Knox

(parag. 6): "The day's most charged exchanges included an angry assault by Republican Sen. John McCain, a dramatic turn given that Hagel co-chaired the senator's 2000 presidential campaign."...

2/14/13, "Quick Hits page, Anti-Israel Hagel Video Surfaces?" Rush Limbaugh transcript

"RUSH: Now, Hagel... You know, you go back to the earlier 2000s, and Hagel was one of the most brilliant Republicans around if you listened to the media.

He was John McCain's best bud. McCain, in his 2000 campaign, had even promised to make Hagel the secretary of defense, and then they had a falling out because Hagel endorsed Obama over McCain in 2008. So now McCain's totally down on Hagel, and they're going through the motions of whether or not they're gonna filibuster this nomination and the vote on Hagel to be secretary of defense."
