...and no one that I know is questioning Brown's liberal credentials. I'm not even questioning the right of the DSCC to meddle in local politics. What I am questioning is that thinking that a liberal Democrat who is fairly well known in the state as a liberal politician is going to beat a moderate republican...even one that is not well-liked. You must give a reason for those moderates to move their vote into another column, and Brown isn't it. Down state is not going to vote for Brown; they will vote for a Marine.
On DU, I don't doubt that the liberal Brown would do very well, but Ohio isn't DU.
Hackett attracts many DUers because he is unafraid to speak out. He also helps change the much talked about "branding" of the Democratic party. Well, people like Hackett are our chance. He is not conservative, but he is closer in his thinking to the voters of Ohio than Brown.
Do we have to lose again, and again, before people understand this?
