In a sign that the 2nd Congressional District race might be tight, the National Republican Congressional Committee has dumped more than $500,000 into a TV ad campaign attacking Democrat Paul Hackett.
But Republican committee spokesman Carl Forti insisted that the ad buy is no sign that the party is worried that the Republican candidate, former state Rep. Jean Schmidt, could lose Tuesday's special congressional election.
What prompted the committee's entry into the Schmidt-Hackett race was a comment made by Hackett in a USA Today article published Thursday. Hackett, talking about his service as a marine in Iraq, is quoted as saying, "I've said I don't like the son- of-a-b--- that lives in the White House. But I'd put my life on the line for him."
Because Hackett said that, Forti said, "we decided to bury him."
The evilmongers at work, again. How anyone can be "proud" to belong to "that" party, is beyond my comprehension.
But, you know that Forti is just spouting bullshit. The NRCC doesn't just "dump" half a million dollars into the coffers because someone said something that pissed them off. Hackett has them worried. He's closed the gap between himself and that awful Schmidt woman.
Here's hoping he prevails next Tuesday.
