Paul Hackett
Keep an on eye on the news tomorrow. Paul Hackett, a marine and an Iraq war vet, is running as the Democratic party candidate for the open house seat in OH-2, a notoriously Republican district in southwestern OH. As of now the polls show Hackett and the Republican candidate, Jean Schmidt, neck and neck, something unimaginable when the race started. The Republicans tried to swiftboat him as they paraded Schmidt around the district wearing pictures of dead soldiers on her chest but unlike John Kerry, Hackett actually fought back.
Heavy coverage of the campaign can be found here, here and some bizarre videos of Jean Schmidt can be found here.

John Glenn sent out an email to Ohio Democrats (like me) urging us to donate to his campaign about a week ago. Makes me wonder if the local party just woke up to the idea that they might stand a chance.
