Just because Paul Hackett has retired from politics doesn’t mean that he’s retired from community service. His latest effort is to organize volunteers to help a family that’s hit on some hard luck. On August 5th Paul will be working with Vic Wulsin on a house in Seaman, Ohio.

Bill passes but not by enough to override a Presidential veto.

Money numbers are out on the 2nd and it looks like both candidates are coming up dry. Right now Vic Wulsin has $24,564 cash on hand compared to Schmidt’s $17,509. Compare that to Cranley in the 1st who’s got $775,757 cash on hand.
Jean Schmidt is about as vulnerable as she’s going to get, so there’s a lot of incentive for Wulsin to start hauling some serious behind. The Wulsin campaign also needs to be ready for the possibility that if things start looking really dire for the Congresswoman she’ll just loan herself another $200,000 or so.

Man, I’ll tell ya… it’s rough when it’s working against you, but it sure is nice when it’s on your side.
David Sirota has started to warm up his online voice to the Senate Fight against Mike DeWine. I can only image how it will get once the nationals are no longer focused on Liebermann/Lamont.

Kossack Bonddad is one of my favorite posters over @ Daily Kos. Today he gives a typical example of why with his proposal of a theory that Republican tax cuts actually killed job growth. As he states it’s just a theory but it makes a LOT of sense. Go read it.

From the DNC Blog via BradBlog, who’s been doing absolutely amazing work on this front.
This all centers on Diebold equipment which will be a major issue in the 2006 general here in Ohio. It is VERY important that Democrats get ultra aggressive on election integrity since an essential component of the Republican’s strategic retreat is making it as hard as possible for people to vote and audit elections.
Nice to see the Democrats waking up on this front. For years it was like pulling teeth.
Now if we could just get Voter Action to adopt Ohio.

The latest polls put Dr. Victoria Wulsin being a contender in the ring with Mean Jean Schmidt. This match is going to be different than most other matches simply because its woman against woman. Poll or no poll, common sense says that Ms. Schmidt is going to alter her presentation when combating Dr. Vic. She has painted herself into a corner as coarse and ruthless, marathon running, anti-abortion (kinda), I support the President straight into the bowels of hell the 2nd district of Ohio be damned kinda gal; with bleak, melancholy handlers and supporters just doing their jobs. Contrast with the charming Dr. Wulsin, who has never lied about her education, a proven problem solver who thinks outside the box, caring, energetic, who is willing to do whatever it takes for the good of the people; with excited, personable supporters and virtually no handlers.

In a thread over at Project Logic I was asked about my opinion of the poll leaked by the Wulsin campaign and the validity of what it said as well as comparing Vic’s performance to Paul’s. Here’s an updated version of my reply:
