Obama-Hagel 08?

Well, if it's going to be McCain-Lieberman, then why not? Although Jim Webb would still be better.

A lot of anti-interventionist moral and social conservatives like Obama anyway, and a lot of those (not all, but a lot) are not necessarily averse to plenty of government action at home, depending on what it is and for whom.

Obama should be making it clear that on certain matters he will be reaching out, perhaps even in formalised, institutional ways. That's a lot more than they could expect from McCain.
