Well done, Paul Hackett, WE ARE PROUD OF YOU!

[Walt Starr]

I think this probably will turn out to be one of the cleanest elections in the history of that part of Ohio, mostly due to all of the attention on it.

Well done, Mr. Hackett. Keep your hat ready and cast it into the ring next year!

2. I am proud of Hackett, but ashamed of the people in

the second district of OHIO!!!

3. Well we'll have to wait and see

if it is the people of the second district or the people who counted the votes. We are never going to win another election until we stop this massive election fraud.

4. Paul Hackett is a fine man. Unfortunately we just can't beat greed

and indifference.

9. I'd also like to thank all those folks who volunteered and donated

to this campaign. This truly was a great campaign in rough territory. I hope that there is a recount and an investigation into the machine failure, humidity? Don't they have AC in Ohio?

Anyways, KUDOS to all involved with the Hackett campaign and the candidate himself!!

10. Special election for Congressman

Some districts had tax levies, too.

No exit polls. This was strictly local, not national.

20. please add your thanks to Paul to the "Thanks Paul" blog

http://thankyoupaul.blogspot.com/

you can PM me here at DU with the text you want to send to Paul and the name you want to go by there. I guess links are okay too, as they'll add color and more interesting things to the blog. Also I prefer that you also include what state you're from in the thanks, just to show him and his campaigners how broad their support was.
