On a bad day, there may be a ray of sunshine...
Paul Hackett is leading Jean Schmidt in the Special Election for the U.S. Ohio 2nd District.
This is a district where Republicans have received 70% of the vote, and President Bush won overwhelmingly. It looks like the efforts to paint this veteran as weak aren't working as well as they did last fall.
Go Paul go!!!

UPDATE @ 9:49PM
Of course a 3% victory equals a mandate in Republican circles, so I guess it wasn't as close as I thought.
Somehow I don't think we have seen the last of Paul Hackett. His success in this Congressional Race in a very conservative district, bodes well for his future either for state office or perhaps the Senate.
