| As I sat down to eat lunch and check my email, I found something rather unpleasant in my inbox. Spam. Supposedly from "John Glenn", the sender's address was "info@johnkerry.com". It was praising the Democrat candidate in a special election here in Ohio, one Paul Hackett, who is apparently an Iraq war veteran. No disrespect for his service -- he's done more than I can -- but for Democrats to try to sell a candidate as a vet is galling. How many times have we heard Democrats say we shouldn't have gone to Iraq? That it's all lost? That we're doing more harm than good? That it's just a waste of good men and a distraction? And now they're trying to sell a candidate on his service in the war? The only thing I know about Paul Hackett is that he chose to be in the party of John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Robert Byrd, Dick Durbin, Cynthia McKinney, Sandy Berger, Michael Moore, Jimmy Carter, etc. ad nauseam. That's enough for me to question his judgement and fitness for office. |

| #6 It's not early. It's a special election, and it's this Tuesday! I don't know that it'll help, but I'm going to try to drop off a contribution to Jean Schmidt's campaign this weekend. |

| #5 I don't think he is a danger to the Republican candidate. Polls have him 17% behind but it is still very early. Did the spam mention that he is a lawyer? Enough said. |

| #4 Hackett's a real charmer. He said Bush is a greater threat to US security than Osama: http://tks.nationalreview.com/archives/071230.asp |

| #3 Oops... forgot this part: Will Hackett tow the party line of 'Illegal war', 'war of choice', etc.? |

| #2 I got the same spam. I suspect it was because I once logged into JohnKerry.com to tell the story of my two uncles who were also Vietnam vets--they asked for vets... they didn't say specifically from Iraq--and urge Kerry to sign his '180. |

| #1 He's also campaigning on the war was the "wrong war, at the wrong time, in the wrong place." |
