Sigh...I miss Paul Hackett...

Taking a walk down memory lane...



As a reminder of why I miss Paul Hackett, one of the many articles from February:

The Worst Kind of Politics:

Yet again, the Washington political machine has shown its inability to handle fresh perspective and bold challenges to the status quo. Would Paul Hackett have played along with the foot-dragging and bureaucracy that is viewed as business-as-usual by the Capitol Hill old guard? Would he have played nicely when it came down to party loyalty, or would he have called it as he saw it, regardless of politics? On these issues, and many others, Paul Hackett was a novice, unaccustomed to the quiet backroom handshakes that too often characterize business inside the Beltway. So he got the boot, and now he says he isn't planning a return to politics anytime soon, if ever.

I realize that even though he did drop out of the race Paul Hackett did make a difference, yet I can't help wondering how much more could have been done had he stayed...
