When Gregory asked her if Hackett has more credibility about Iraq because he was a veteran and had served there. Jean replied that she went to a soldier's funeral.
Well, going to a soldier's funeral may not make Jean more credible than Hackett on Eye-Rack, but it makes her more credible than Little Boots as His Pussilanimousness ain't been to no funerals as it upsets him.

Oy. And did anyone else find this rather ironic?
A federal judge has ruled that some provisions of the U.S. Patriot Act dealing with foreign terrorist organizations remain too vague to be understood by a person of average intelligence and are therefore unconstitutional.
How can we base law on "average intelligence" when we've put a moron in the highest office?

Chris Matthews interviewed Hackett several days ago, and what an impressive individual. If people there aren't paying attention to this man, they are losing out. His views on training the Iraq Army was just outstanding. I haven't heard a White House talking head with half the knowledge this man has. He would be a tremendous asset.

Why, yes, yes she is horrible. The interview on Hardball did her no favors in the "showing off my brains" department, and the fact that she regurgitates GOP talking points and criticizes an Iraq vet means, to me, that she's highlighting pages from the Rovian playbook.
And frankly, anyone, and I mean anyone, who supported George Bush in the last election is an idiot and gets zero respect from me.
Normally, I wouldn't take such a hardcore approach in my ideology. But Bush has fucked up this country to damn near unrecognizable, and anyone who voted for him is not paying attention to reality.

I watched that last night, and compared to Hackett, she is an idiot.
For the umpteenth time, we probably won't win this one, but boy oh boy, it feels good to be fighting. And we are really highlighting the differences between the two parties. Of course, they have it worked that if you don't follow their agenda 100%, you are a liberal. I think there are a whole lotta liberals being borne.
I donated to Hackett even though I have never been to Ohio, and only have some very distant relatives living there. Felt good.

rorschach ~
I'd be disappointed in knowing that you supported Bush over Gore. However, I can understand that decision more so than I can understand why anyone would have voted for Bush over Kerry. In the 2000 election, Bush didn't have much of a national track record, although anyone who studied his biography could see that he fucked up everything he touched. I didn't like his Rovian campaign tactics against Richards (rumoring that she was a lesbian) or McCain, and I had intuition that he would be a terrible president. He actually turned out to be worse than I expected.
Bush had almost four years of fucking over this country at the time of the '04 election, and anyone who voted for him clearly wasn't paying attention, or was blinded by either jingoistic or religious bullshit. I can't respect the decision by anyone to vote Bush over Kerry in '04, with the possible exception of the richest of the rich, who were clearly voting in their own best interest (and those folks are few and far between).

If she wins it was rigged - in a related note I read yesterday that Ohio's 120,000 evangelical christians were targeted by the GOP for the '04 vote - bush picked up 500,000 new votes between 2000 and 2004 - Is anybody ever going to find a way to prove the election was stolen in '04 - I read something at Harper's but it doesn't seem to have legs

Y'know, this whole meme we went through last election about the Republicans galvanizing evangelicals who hadn't thought to vote in 2000. Am I the only one who finds that incredibly fishy? These are white conservatives...when have they ever NOT turned out to vote in huge numbers?

I'm not sure I'm ready to call her worst candidate ever. There have been so many, including dems.
Some days I think Kerry was on the list for not being able to beat such a bad pres.
Yeah, he was close, but it should have been a landslide in the Dems. favor

she answered the question, "what would you advise the president on Iraq". Her answer was a dry and empty as the Mojave, "I would advise him to listent to those that know whats going on over there",or some such shit.
like maybe, i don't know, a marine major who served in fallujah.

No matter who wins on Tuesday, this is win-win for Hackett & progressives. He now has the recognition to run for state wide office in Ohio, where the Repub to Demo ratio is much better the the 2nd district.

Late to the thread, but having seen Ms. Schmidt perform over the last couple of days, she is sounding desperate and strident and edgy.
Desperate strident and edgy, is the factor that will push the undecideds over to Hackett.
Look at it this way--the undecideds are undecideds because they are waiting for someone to make some sort of decision, or look decisive, in essence, decide for them. Jean Schmidt does not look that way. She looks pissed and worried, like someone told her this would be easy, and she getting screwed.
If she continues to play that way, looky sweaty and over wrought, she will lose, Paul Hackett will win, and we will have one member of Congress who can speak about Iraq with authority. Big improvement over the what's there now.

"I had no idea there were protesters outside," said Ohio Republican Party spokesman Jason Mauk, who dismissed the 12-person protest as being staged for reporters.
Reminds me of all the hippie burnouts in Traverse City last fall. We had to stroll through a gauntlet of them on our way in to hear Dubya. They were really pretty pitiful.

What I meant to say to Max Planck was:
Huh? Explain yourself, please. How the fuck can will the streets in Southern Ohion be paved in gold if the government has no money to spend on them due to the elimination of taxes? Same for the fiscal surpluses?
The very wealthy do give their money to charity, but not to the tune of what the government draws in in taxes.

I've been known to email pleadings to myself at several email addresses the night before they're due to be filed. Some filing deadlines are statutory and the courts don't care that the computer ate it.

Ignorance is bliss. Yes, there are still a lot of Dubya supporters here in the 2nd Congressional District of Ohio. I believe it was Mark Twain who said "When the end of time comes, I want to be in Cincinnati. People there have always been about 20 years behind the times". I personally like to think of Cincinnati more as the city where free-thought goes to die.
Anyway, many of my neighbors believe this is the same GOP as during the Reagan years, and you cannot convince them otherwise. Hell they still believe Sadamm was responsible for 9/11, and any mention of lies and deceipt within this administration is all the result of the liberal media.
And take it easy on the rest of us hillbillies - most of us are just trying to be patriotic Americans.

I'm watching this clip and am reminded of a recent article I read in Time about young Iranians being fed happy pills to keep them away from politics. Schmitt is saying most of the voters in her district are happy go lucky cos of bush fighting "OVER THERE". They only care about what personally affects them and dead Iraqis, much less 1700 more than the local 4-Her they're currently honoring, don't matter!!

I'm late to this party, but this is the difference between Howard Dean's DNC and Terry McDipshit's. The Republicans are used to being able to run any mouthbreathing live body they can find in these districts because the Democrats never fought there before. The Democrats surrendered places like this and all the voters in them to craven gasbags like Schmidt, and there was no blogosphere to support people like Hackett.
Now we fight the fights that need fighting, not just the fights we can win, and it's got them completely bumfuzzled.
I look forward to 2006. Let no Republican run unopposed. Anywhere.
Not.
One.
