5. They made it sound bleak

They also painted him as a left-wing loon. Thanks CBS :eyes:

6. The media always does that

Especially to a canidate they feel threatned by such as Hackett. See Howard Dean and John Kerry. Funny how they never touched John Edwards. :shrug:

8. I agree. They made it sound quite dismal.

And for someone who's 500 miles away from the action, and doesn't know the current political climate, I was disheartened.

I hope it's not as bad as the report made it out to be. OH-2 DUers, on the whole, seem to be much more optimistic, and I hope that they're more accurate.

7. Nice

Schmidt has nothing to run on. Just her "pro-life" and "pro-family" nonsense and "supporting the President." Please. Go Hackett! I thought it was a pretty good coverage of him.

9. I know that sounds uber-lame to us

but that is probably the best possible platform to run on in that district. If you watched the clip, the guy saying, "I'm not voting on his war record. I'm voting on his political philosophies and I don't agree with them." Pretty much sums up what we're fighting here - about 49% voting on abortion and we have to win the other 51%.
