2. Portman received over 70% in the last several elections
Hackett, came out of nowhere, talked down to the * bots and brought the numbers to almost 50/50. It's a loss, but not a loss. You know?

3. We damn near won---we served noticed.
We can't view this as a defeat but only as a harbinger of good things to come.

Not that I'm not pissed off we lost but still. . .

4. It Is A Very Good Performance, Sir
It seems to be a confirnmation of the proposition that tough talk and unapologectic language will move many away from attachment to the enemy....

6. A four point loss
in a 70% Republican district is not a loss. Sure the big upset would have been amazing, but we have to look at the big picture. A pro-choice, anti-war candidate that called the president of the united states a chickenhawk son-of-a-bitch just shaved off almost 30 points in the reddest of redville. Rejoice!

7. No-We kicked their asses actually.
A 20 point gain for DEMs- and out of nowhere.

We blindsided Goliath & he barely recovered in time.
