…it smells like victory.

Bob Brigham breaks the big news on the Hackett campaign in OH-2. Stirling Newberry sums it up nicely.

Hackett has made "The Culture of Corruption" the big issue, and this morning Jean Schmidt walked into it. She claimed not to know Tom Noe. However, as the minutes approved on March 21st, 2002 show that Noe was on the Ohio Regents when Jean Schmidt testified before the Regents on the morning of 21st March, and was on a retreat with "the Ohio Regents" the day before.

We could win this one. Amazing, really.

Max Cleland was on hand to connect the dots that are slowly becoming the picture of a bellweather campaign...

"The odor of corruption not only comes out of Tom DeLay's office, it also comes out of Columbus."

Well, there and the White House, of course.

What did that Kerry fella say? Something about the most crooked bunch of liars...
