Plus, although I have been and always been a loyal Sherrod Brown supporter (i feel a need to disclose that), I'm starting to feel like I give Hackett more credit than some of his supporters.

For crying out loud, Paul Hackett is a smart man that came to a smart decision. And he's got his life back; he's already being circumspect (in my opinion, this speaks to his toughness and resilience); he stuck to his word and didnt run in a race he promised not to (not saying that Sherrod ever promised he wouldn't run for Senate; at best I think he would have been noncommittal, which could have easily been misinterpreted by ANY hopeful office seeker); Paul Hackett now has national name recognition (even though he's not black, as Rush pointed out). He's a hero.

GIVE HIM SOME CREDIT; LET HIM LIVE HIS LIFE IN PEACE FOR AWHILE.
