As Ohio goes, so goes the nation

Chris Cillizza at WaPo writes about Ohio's importance for 2006 in today's The Fix. With all of the crooks running around in Ohio, there will be sweeping changes in the state whose governor has a 17% approval rating. The good news is that there are six House seats that the Dems can take from the gops in the state, and when I think about how the Dems need 15 seats to take over, little pangs of excitement jump up within me. No, the Dems are not going to take back the House in 2006, unless a miracle happens, but 2008 doesn't look so far away these days. Of course, with the Dems recent track record on picking candidates, this nervous excitement could once again be transformed into that bitter November 3 feeling.

It's interesting to note that convicted criminal Governor Bob Taft is related to Bushie through at least three different marriages, ranging from eighth-cousin-once-removed to 11th-cousin-once-removed, as well as being a ninth cousin of Vice President Dick Cheney. Talk about royalty. They may not be allowed to have formal titles of nobility, but they have informal ones, alright, the titles of Taft, Bush, etc... But, I digress. Or do I?

Paul Hackett is new blood, not coming from the ranks of American nobility. It's time to circulate these guys through our political system, sweep out the dinosaurs and take back the government from the crooks and liars. Vote Hackett for Senate!
