Iraq War hero Hackett in Ohio looks like a political star in the making and he's ahead now. Just hope they're not using Diebold machines or the GOP will reverse the win. If Hackett hangs on he could become a big thorn in Bush's side. "Hackett, a lawyer and Marine reservist who recently completed a seven-month tour in Iraq, has drawn national attention to the race with his flame-throwing assaults on Bush. He was especially harsh of the president for his July 2003 "bring 'em on" comment about Iraqi insurgents, saying such talk merely "cheered on the enemy." "That's the most incredibly stupid comment I've ever heard a president of the United States make," Hackett told USA Today. Hackett has also referred to the president as "a chicken hawk ... a person who advocates war in a cavalier way."
