HACKETT:

I may not like the fact that it unrolled this way with me.
That’s life. Given the choice, I’d rather see Sherrod Brown as my
next Senator… Why do I want to hurt him if we can get him elected.
I’m not suggesting that I want to go hunting with him or fishing with
him…I don’t have to like him personally. I have to like his politics…
I’m proud to say that I’m a team player…Everybody who is upset about this,
get over it now and let’s work hard to get Democrats on the ticket elected.
They may not be perfect, but they are better in most cases than the alternative.
Certainly in Ohio that’s the case. So, all that are spun about it, let’s make
sure all the Democrats that make in on the ticket this Fall get elected in Ohio.
And that’s improvement. And they will ultimately improve the process and make
America better for all of us.
