This bit from RedState.org is fairly illustrative of what the election in Ohio-02 will turn on:
Hackett is a far left Democrat using his experience in the military to beat up the President and the war. According to Hackett, Bush saying "Bring 'em on!" was "the most incredibly stupid comment I've ever heard a president of the United States make."
If you live in Ohio's 2nd Congressional District, remember to go vote today. Be sure to vote for Jean Schmidt.
So what will today's election be about? Paul Hackett. Republicans know Schmidt is, in her better moments, an empty suit. There's no appeal to voting for her, no reason to line up with her. But against Hackett? Against a Democrat? Now we're talking. Democrats, of course, feel the same way, except that the candidate they're voting for is the one they're genuinely moved by. In this race, Schmidt barely even exists. It's Democratic war hero Paul Hackett or not Democratic war hero Paul Hackett.
