Sad News for Democrats in 2006

This AP story is sad news for all Democrats. Why Paul Hackett (D) won't go and finally take out an even weaker Rep. Jean Schmidt (R) is truly beyond comprehension. He's the best candidate out there for that race. Why he would want to win that race five months ago and not now want to win that race now - when it is even more winnable - is really just inexplicable. I've always said Hackett has talent and potential - and rather than see a nasty Democratic primary, why wouldn't he go run the race he just ran as a frontrunner and take that seat for his party?

Anyone?...Anyone?
