Feeding the Beast
Interesting analysis of the Paul Hackett debacle by UPI news senior analyst Martin Sieff. He worries (yes, worries) about the implications for the Democratic Party of its failure to embrace left wing antiwar types ranging from Hackett to Cindy Sheehan.
Seems to me that Sieff is giving away his far left roots here. There's a world of difference between Hackett -- an Iraq war vet -- and Sheehan, and to lump them into the same category is, frankly, an insult to Hackett. And a world of difference between shunting Hackett aside in favor of a career pol, and not wanting an anti-American moonbat like Sheehan to take on Sen. Dianne Feinstein.
Even so, it's true that the Dems are going to have a problem feeding the angry netroots base that they've been delighted to nourish when the ferocity was directed at the President. And it serves them right.

Dems told Hackett to "cut and run."
Oh well. That's a shame. Even though DeWine is weak, he would have beat Hackett.
He'll clobber Brown.
