What's Hackett going to do now? I hope he's planning a future in

politics. We need more like him making the rules.

1. it would be hard

to have a future in politics where he lives. i mean as a dem. the district he is from hasn't elected a dem in over 40 years.i give him credit for the race being as close as it was. cincinnati is one of the most racist,right wing,neocon cities in america. i know, i worked over there for 27 years

2. Maybe he's the guy to change all that in the long run.

6. Define Neocon, please.

9. Actually, the district was represented by a Democrat immediately before

Portman was elected in 1982.

3. I think he should run for s statewide office now

This district is hopeless. It's the reddest of all OH disticts. If you run Jesus there against a corrupt republican, Jesus will still lose.

Hacket is just too good to get out of politics now. He needs to be on the ballot for some of the statewide races next year. Why not challenging Voinovich for the senate seat?

4. Actually, he's volunteering for another tour in Iraq.

Or so I heard on the radio this morning.

5. Come up here to the 3rd, Mr. Hackett!!!

8. read in the nytimes article of today that he prob. will go on another tour

of duty in Irag next summer. or maybe it was Wash Post.

11. I hope he comes back safe and sound.

10. I'd love to see him up against Chabot in CD 1

Would it be possible for him to run in another district in 2006?
