Hell of a good interview.
How can this man stay away from politics?
I predict that he will be back!!

At MyDD, one of my favorite Fighting Dems, Jeff Latas (AZ-08) laments the Hacking of Hackett and discusses the rise of populism em…

I wouldn’t have voted for Hackett, but I can’t argue with the quality of this interview; both interviewer and interviewee.

Daivd Sirota: My Take on Ohio…
My Take on Ohio ” . . . In short, the primary process unfolds well before election day. And what we’ve seen with Hackett is that the primary process worked. That’s a good thing, not because I like Sherrod Brown - but because I want Democrats to win …
