Paul Hackett's spokesman David Woodruff confirmed to the Columbus Dispatch last night that Hackett will challenge Mike Dewine for his US Senate seat. Hackett created a lot of buzz with his narrow loss to Jean Schmidt in one of the reddest districts in the state of Ohio. His energetic campaign team fully embraced the netroots, who in turn, full invested time and money in Hackett. He had over 800 volunteers on the ground for the special election in August.
While Hackett sits quite a few seats closer to the aisle than I do, I think he is an excellent candidate to run statewide in Ohio. Recent poll results also show that as well, with one recent Zogby poll giving Hackett an eight point lead over Dewine 44-36. I think Dewine is toast.
Hackett's announcement is obviously timed due to the recent Sherrod Brown rumors.
Note to Sherrod Brown: Today is the day you can officially take your toe out of the water and slink back to Washington. Don't muddy this race up.
