Hack Attack

Paul Hackett kicked some serious ass in Ohio yesterday. If it can happen there it can happen here. What can we learn from his campaign and how do we apply those lessons to running Dems in the Panhandle? An initial observation I have is that Hackett's success was largely in part to the support he received from the internet community. His campaign needed money, the call went out to the net and the money came in. It was average schmoes like us that made that happen.

What do you think?
