Hackett campaign picks up steam
This enquirer article, by Howard Wilkinson gives an update of some of the recent developments in Paul Hackett's campaign for Ohio's 2nd Congressional District seat. Stumping from James Carville (former Clinton strategist) and Max Cleland (former Senator) is sure to give Hackett a boost in the August 2nd special election.
The article also makes reference to the role played by the DCCC.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee helped the Hackett campaign secure Carville's appearance and provided some fund-raising assistance that allowed the Hackett campaign to begin a TV ad campaign this week. That made Hackett the first Democratic candidate in decades who could afford TV ads in the 2nd District.
Unfortunately the Committee's website doesn't even mention Hackett's campaign.

UPDATE:
Ohio Watch just informed me that the commercial is now available here as a .wmv file.
*sigh* he doesn't stand a chance.
the DNC is just NOW taking notice and rallying up the troops.
TOO LATE!
republicans have always been good at establishing a plan and getting in there early, setting up shop and knockin' it out.
democrats.. especially over the past 5,6 years or so.. have not.
on the up side of things.. hackett seems like he is drawing a lot of support from increasingly prominent (ie - rich, ie-give money) cincinnatians, particularly of the female gender.
if part of his strategy is to capture the 'desperate housewives' of terrace park, indian hill, amberly village, etc.. then i tip my hat to mr. hackett..
those folks network like mo'fos. you'll see me grinning like an idiot the day i see 'hackett' signs popping up in front of kitschy coffee shops, craft markets, knitting stores and 'what's for dinner'. i know, then, that its workin.
