How do we win people, really win and win big?
Hackett didn't win because not enough people who voted for Kerry, Gore, or Clinton over the last decade came out to vote. From what I see the more rural counties voted for Hackett, which means non lazy Republican voters who switched sides almost picked up the slack.
I cannot blame the Hackett loss on Hackett himself, everything is 20/20 hindsight these days. But we can blame it on turnout. Well it was an 11 week campaign, 48% on short notice against a 64% Bush 2004 district is pretty good. That's short notice.
Now how do we win big in 2006 and make every vote count?
Nationalized the message, but don't nationalize the candidate and make 2006 about making every vote count, and taking away power from Bush and the rightwing.
We cannot win by letting them have it. We have to take it away from them.
How?

The message is.
The last six years of this mis-administration has cost us our economic and national soveireigty. Never any more will we have a combination of elite rightwing neocons, letting foreign nations and entities take control over any sector of the economy or the government ever again.
This campaign is about hope, over Bush and this rightwing Republican Congress' policies of hate, deceit and division. We will have no more of it. The truth will be told.
The rightwing is in full control of the mechanisms of government, and large parts of the private sector. Hence, September the 11th, 2001 and the preceding "war on terrorism" via Saddam which has become a debacle and cost us dearly in money, blood and tears, must come to an orderly end for the sake and security of the United States.
We will restructure taxes to be fair on the middle class and the working poor, and if the Republicans and the Bush neocons want to fight a war based on a lie they can do somewhere else not in America and not on the people's time.
We will balance the budget by stopping throwing money at neocon world class debacles like not finding Bin Laden.
We should veer from name calling, but if the situation arises call `em liars and deceivers. Because in most instances we are at war with them, and their propaganda machine of dirty tricks, smears, outright lies, and treasonous acts.
This Republican Government has forgotten the people. Gas prices are higher and the multinational petroleum corporations and O.P.E.C. keep getting richer day after day, and our State National Guard troops are dying in Iraq.
They would rather have you vote for a Constitutional Amendment to ban flag burning, because maybe 10 people in the last 10 years if that have burned the American Flag, while we are wasting precious time and energy in this failure of an endeavor, Bush's war on Iraq.
Bush and the Republican leadership in Congress are not fighting the "war on terrorism", they are fighting against us the people, the States and their districts. Look at all the rights we hold dearly come into question these last few years. If we loose these rights, we've lost America forever. Never to be remembered.
We will not let Bush and the rightwing scare us into believing our security comes from taking rights away.
You will steal no more elections because we won't abide by Diebold. Not now or ever.
We know that there is a frustrated majority, those who vote and those who don't
who realized that our economic and political situation have gotten out of hand.
We won't be viscous like they are, but we have a message of truth:
The American People First
The Constitution First
The Bill of Rights First
America's Integrity on the World Stage First
We will use everything that is good about America first leaving the neocon agenda in the
dust and truly have a second chance, and reenter the 21st Century again by taking back
the Congress and the States in 2006. We have to take it for ourselves because it is ours.
We The People!
Now that's the Hacket Complex.
