Hackett - Ohio

We came really close here. A lot of money & volunteers from the internets made a huge difference. Thanks to everyone who donated & helped. Let's make sure we keep the ReThugs on the run.

"I'm back...uh, what happened?


"...holy crap, 52-48! A win would've been great, but I certainly didn't expect to do this well.


"...Armando says it well:


"New Ohio Democratic superstar Paul Hackett went into the lion's den of pure Red Southern Ohio and scared the pants off of the GOP losing by less than 4 points in the face of a NRCC promise to "bury him."

"No spin - the GOP is on the run.



"Let's remember what the Cook Report said earlier:


"If Schmidt's victory margin is in double digits, this tells us that there is not much of an anti-GOP wind in Ohio right now. If the margin is say six to nine points for Schmidt, then there is a wind, but certainly no hurricane. A Schmidt win of less than five points should be a very serious warning sign for Ohio Republicans that something is very, very wrong, while a Hackett victory would be a devastating blow to the Ohio GOP.


Something is very, very wrong for the Ohio GOP."
