Reply #7: It's our mandate to win. Hackett has handed us our political capital.

Keep in mind that Hackett came within 3.5% of winning a district that is 70% Repub. Do you honestly think he would have fared just as badly if the district had been 60 or 50 percent Repub? Helloooooo---SOME OF THOSE REPUBS VOTED FOR HIM!!!

It's not a pipe dream or a theory anymore. We now know what it takes to win--a no-holds-barred candidate and agile grass roots support. If we get together and make the effort to multiply what Hackett did by fifty states, we'll win a LOT more often than we'll lose.

I pray that Howard Dean offers Hackett a job before he decides to re-enlist. If he really wants to do what's best for his country, he'll stay here, energize the base and run for something in 2006.

Hackett has just dropped a sack of political captial into our laps. Do we invest it in 2006, or do we wander away?
