Online poll on Chuck Hagel: Retire now

I'm fully aware that online polls are unscientific. Of course one could argue the same about Zogby polls.

But today's Omaha World-Herald gave me a laugh. Here is today's online poll, about the "Ogre of Omaha," Chuck Hagel:

Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel is still flirting with the idea of running for president as an independent. What would you advise him to do?

• Run for president as a Republican. (59)

• Run for president as an independent. (133)

• Run for re-election to the Senate. (167)

• Retire from politics. (509)

• I have no opinion. (29)

The votes as of 3:00PM CDT are in parentheses.

I selected the second-to-last option.

Although he is a cut-and-runner, Hagel is not a nut like Ron Paul. If he does decide to run for president, especially as a Republican, he'll be linked with Paul--just like salt and pepper.
