Hackett plugs Sherrod on Hardball
Iraq war veteran and Indian Hill native Paul Hackett took on Republican congressional candidate Van Taylor of Texas, also an Iraq war veteran, in a lively exchange over the Iraq war on tonight's Hardball with Chris Matthews.You really should watch this 9-minute segment yourself. Both Matthews and Hackett were all over Taylor and his GOP talking points about the war. Very entertaining.
At the end of the interview, Matthews told Hackett: "You're very passionate and vigilant on this issue. It's too bad you're not the candidate up there. It looks like the candidate's way ahead in the polls. Is this bugging you, that Sherrod Brown's got the nomination and not you?"
Hackett's response: "Absolutely not! Absolutely not! Send money to Sherrod Brown. He's a hell of a guy and we hope he's our next senator from Ohio."
Following up, Matthews asked if there's any chance Hackett would run for election, to which Hackett retorted: "I'm running Paul Hackett Law Offices. If you need a lawyer, call me."

Post a Comment*What a Hack! If it's Brown, flush it down!
I strongly feel that Pie Head Hackett would make a great State Senator from ohio.
Well, the wRong wingnut fishwrap just keeps mounting evidence of political bias in support of that federal lawsuit being served up !
Thank you for falling into the trap of selective posts while we document your bias for the jury to rule !
So predictable and so:
PATHETIC !
HAD ENOUGH, VOTE DEMOCRATIC 2006
The html impersonator strikes again !
Off topic, but, this just in:
Which Ken Blackwell Is It?
Columbus, Ohio - Ken Blackwell was quite an athlete growing up, but who would have guessed he would be so flexible in middle age?
Blackwell weighed in with his third position this year on the Ohio Commercial Activity Tax this week, telling the Central Ohio Chambers of Commerce that it should be eliminated. This after previously saying it needed to stay after previously saying it must go.
"Mr. Blackwell has long since broken our trust," said Strickland for Governor spokesman Keith Dailey. "Throughout his career, Mr. Blackwell has been a man of contradictions. He's against abortion but was an investor in the morning after pill. He's against gambling but was an investor in slot machines. He's an outspoken critic of the ethics of Bob Taft but he gladly attends his fundraisers. There are at least two sides to every issue, and Mr. Blackwell's taken all of them."
A head-spinning journey through Mr. Blackwell's past statements on the CAT reveal a man attempting to play political Twister.
February 2006
"'What would make someone create a new tax on commercial activity when we need more commercial activity?' Blackwell asked during a rally at Lima’s Veterans Memorial Civic Center. 'That CAT must go.'"--Cleveland Plain Dealer, 2/17/2006
May 2006
"just weeks after securing his party’s nomination, Blackwell showed no signs of wanting to kill the CAT... Blackwell said fellow Republicans who run the General Assembly told him months ago that the CAT must stay... 'I basically have said here is an area where I’ve faced reality,' he said."--Cleveland Plain Dealer, 5/16/2006
June 2006
"Mr. Blackwell fought the Commercial Activity Tax before passage, and for a year he championed a ballot measure to restrict state and local spending. He now says he'll live with an amended CAT tax and a statutory spending limit."--Toledo Blade, 6/21/2006
August 2006
"[Blackwell] favors a flat income tax, eliminating the newly created Commercial Activity Tax, or CAT, on business activity, and privatizing the Ohio Turnpike to generate capital."--Associated Press, 8/21/06
HAD ENOUGH, VOTE DEMOCRATIC 2006
You mean Chris Matthews and his boy Pretty Paul ganged up on a Marine who was actually fired at in Iraq???
I guess there were no pictures of Van Taylor with Iraqis to get him out of the race in Texas.
and what poll is Matthews citing? Brown's? have another drink Matthews maybe you can resemble something of a balanced reporter!
Why do Democrats continue to paint Paul Hackett as some kind of hero. He lost to a weak Jean Schmidt by four percentage points in a special election. No telling how bad he would have lost in a general election.
