We promote fair and honest political discussion from all sides of the ideological spectrum While my own opinions and my contributors tend toward a more progressive view, that's not always the case. I ask people to comment freely and openly to promote fair discourse. |

Results are being posted over on Mark Nicholas' BluegrassReport and things look to be extremely tense in the Ohio 2nd District Congressional race. In a strong Republican district, Democrat Paul Hackett, an Iraq war vet, gave one hell of fight and according to bluegrassreport, Republicans hold a solid 54 point registration majority and Hackett only lost by 3 pts. I'd say 2006 will be the biggest non-presidential campaign season seen in an exceptionally long time, maybe even since the "New Deal".
Take a look at Mark's site for a fairly full play-by-play of the evenings main event. posted by Stithmeister @ 10:52 PM 2 Comments: Links to this post:

Some of us from Change for Northern Kentucky went to canvass for Paul Hackett...my contribution was delivering some yard signs due to child care difficulties! But Jen Haaga, chair of Campbell Co. CFK, said that everyone was very nice and excited about the election the weekend before the vote.
We all hope Hackett runs again in '06. I think he has a great chance to win this time. Notice that Jean Schmidt's largest campaign contribution was $120,000 and Hackett's was $10,000. That's the difference between Republicans and Democrats. Democrats are true working Americans. Links to this post:

I think the battle is starting to heat up. Between that race in Ohio, the Repulibcans burying themselves in Frankfort and Evan Bayh running for president, this region promises to be a hot bed of politics next year. I think Democrats stand a real chance to make a difference and it's our job to make sure they do.
