Paul Hackett Lays In to Harry Reid

Remember Paul Hackett? He's the failed candidate for Congress who, according to lefties, somehow won because he lost against a not very good Republican candidate. Well, Paul is running for the United States Senate now. Hackett has been in Washington lately. I've now been told by several people that Hackett had a meltdown in Washington today that will pretty much assure the implosion of his campaign.
Hackett had a meeting with Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid and proceeded to berate Reid for Reid's kind words about Harriet Miers. According to some who were there, Hackett flew off the handle and then stormed out.
While that might further solidify Hackett with the far left, it will do very little for him with establishment Democrats and those other Democrats who are thinking of entering that primary without giving Hackett the lefty demanded free ride into the general election.

As the left becomes aware that Miers IS NOT all that they hoped she would be, the infighting will begin. This has the makings of a gift that will keep on giving. We shall see.

"While that might further solidify Hackett with the far left, it will do very little for him with establishment Democrats "
Hogwash! The far left IS the mainstream of the Democrat party.
Harry Reid is MODERATE Democrat.
Hackett is a shew in for the Democrat nomination. And against DeWine, probably a US Senator in January 2007.

Sounds like the president's stratergy is working.

This guy sounds like a real mental patient. All he can do is spew hateful name calling at the president and throw childish temper tantrums. Hopefully the people of Ohio will see this extremism hack for the unconstructive obstructionist he would be in the Senate.

This is no big deal. US Senators are very modest people who like it when people yell at them. It helps to remind the Senators that deep down they're still just normal people.
. . . . snicker
My guess is that Mr. Hackett will be starring on CSI soon as another "he's just resting on that metal table" guest of the week.

This is incredible. Paul Hackett is reminding me more and more of Jerry Springer. I'm already feeling better about GOP chances of holding the Senate seat he's announced for.
Now if only Mike DeWine would retire and John Kasich were to be the GOP nominee...
