Jean Schmidt defeats Marine Paul Hackett[*1] 52-48% in heavily Republican Cincinnati Congressional district special election. Hackett ran a race including an ad[*2] which featured President Bush and did not mention his party affiliation–not behavior I’d expect from a Marine, based on the Marines I know.
Still, Democrat partisans claim victory[*3] . Hm. Defeat is Victory. Seems to me I’ve heard something like that before[*4] . War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength[*5] . Yep.
