Party Mixers

Nebraska Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel may be joining Barack Obama on his fact-finding trip to the Mideast next week, but a bipartisan "Obama-Hagel" campaign is likely a "dream ticket" only in a Chuck Hagel nocturne.
"Take a look at the rules," suggested a Senate Democrat with a laugh. "The Party won't allow it."
And sure enough, the rules don't.
Despite the bipartisan ambitions of the candidates and dreams of many pundits, party rules of both the Democratic and Republican National Committees seem to ensure that neither Hagel nor Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman will be nominees for Vice President this year.
For the complete story of the rules that make a bipartisan ticket unlikely for either party, click here.

I'd take Hagel's support over Lieberman's any day of the week.

If it is told that neither Hagel nor Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman will be nominees for Vice President this year, then what is the use of going for a campaign? since sen. Obama is in race the party will not allow it happen.
