hackett dropped out because of pressure prominent democrats
sorry but who in the hell do these people think they are?

let brown and hackett fight it out in the primaries, no in the ultimate wisdom of the political arena, they decide who should be nominated

Yes, brown is a liberal, and hackett is unique, but now we will never know who would have run the best race

My rant is not against either one, but against the democratic machinery who have got us where we are today

1. Whose 'they'?
Why is this a surprise? Personaly, I hope Hackett runs for the House and we get 2 wins in Ohio. Seems like smart politics to me.

2. Well, let's see if the Fumbling Idiots...
Can entice Hackett back into the arena, after calling his contributors and telling them that they should not contribute to his campaign.

I am sure it will be a snap, considering all the good will Hackett is feeling right now. :eyes:

What a bunch of clowns. Utter clowns.

5. In fact last week I contributed to the hackett campaign
tomorrow I will call them requesting a refund, and if I don't get one, I will put a stop payment on my credit card, because I feel that contribution was based on hackett trying to run, NOT dropping out

3. Why should we really care?

I haven't actually seen a Hackett supporter articulate the good reason(s) clearly yet.

I can think of one or two, but all I see stated is just bitching at other Democrats and what I think amounts to "identification" aka political narcissism.
