The truce between the candidates ended once they left the church Sunday morning.

A few hours later, Hackett was standing in front of TV cameras at the Hamilton County Courthouse downtown, refuting Schmidt's statement on Channel 12's "Newsmakers" program that she had "never met" and "wouldn't recognize" Thomas Noe, the Republican campaign contributor at the heart of the state GOP's Coingate' scandal.

Hackett produced minutes of a March 2002 Ohio Board of Regents meeting that indicates that then-state representative Schmidt had met with the regents, whose membership at the time included Noe.

"She seems to have a very selective memory," Hackett said.

When reporters asked for copies of the minutes, Hackett and an aide raced two blocks down Court Street to his law office in the Kroger building to run off copies.

3. Bubp is an idiot.

...saying that the one thing military officers do not do "is criticize their commander in chief."

True enough. But once an officer is retired from military service, like Hackett is, he's allowed to criticize all he wants.

"I served for eight years under a president who loathed the military but we never said a word about it,"

Yeah, kinda like that.
