I hope you aren't serious Oboe. The dude is a politico. And no one called him on it. That's why he almost won.
Though, I wouldn't expect you to know what a politico is.
I'm earnest, though I always hold out the possibility I could be wrong/misinformed. I'm not from Ohio, so all I know of Hackett is the few stories on him that made the MSM, and this MotherJones article. But the gist I got is that he is a Democrat from a different mold, one willing to buck the party line, especially when it comes to guns. That's why I was hopeful about him. Someone needs to stand up and lead a the Democrats back toward the middle, I think.
Barrack Obama is another one I want to keep my eye on. When he speaks, the Right doesn't seem to laugh it off the way they do other Democrats.
Politico to me is just slang for politician or political operative. I know there's an insult there, but its too subtle for me. I imagine I'll regret this, but you'll have to be more blunt! Why wouldn't you expect me to know what a politico is?
