Chuck Hagel on Joe Biden

Via TPM Election Central, Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE) issues a statement on the Biden VP selection:

Joe Biden is the right partner for Barack Obama. His many years of distinguished service to America, his seasoned judgment and his vast experience in foreign policy and national security will match up well with the unique challenges of the 21st Century. An Obama-Biden ticket is a very impressive and strong team. Biden's selection is good news for Obama and America.

I get the feeling Sen. Hagel isn't planning to go to St. Paul any time in the next couple of weeks.
