Paul Hackett Covers the Spread
Final unofficial election results from the 2nd Congressional District:
Schmidt: 59,095 votes (52%)I said last month that more than a third of the vote would be a good showing for a Democrat in the Second District. 48% is phenomenal. This race should have been a foregone conclusion for
Hackett: 55,091 votes (48%)
There will be an open-seat election for Hamilton County commissioner next year. Has there ever been a Democratic majority on the Hamilton County Commission? If Paul Hackett runs, there will be.

Being a Dem. in the Second District, I am very proud of Paul and think he ran a great campaign -- can't wait to vote for him again in the future!
Found your blog via your post at Elephant in My Coffee.
You characterize Hackett as a Democrat with libertarian views. I disagree.
As evidence from hackettforcongress.com:
Hackett doesn't wish to remove tax subsidies, he just wants them given to a different group.
On social security, his only proposal for reform is changing the taxable cap to $150k.
On healthcare, he basically comes to the conclusion that he doesn't know what should be done but he definetly thinks the solution should involve government care of some kind.
About his only libertarian view is on gun control.
Paul Hackett is a Democrat with Democrat views and I think he was so successful because of a well orchestrated image.
There will be an open-seat election for
Hamilton County commissioner next year.
