The combination of Paul Hackett's astounding showing in OH-02 and Cindy Sheehan's bravery have struck a chord with the MSM:
Judging from what's out there, it appears to be time to pile on the Administration over Iraq. A strikingly close outcome in a special congressional election in Ohio last week suggested that voters in a traditionally Republican stronghold are more receptive to criticism about President Bush's conduct of the war. Sixty-one percent of Americans disapprove of his handling of it, per Newsweek. Jessica Lynch tells Time magazine that she feels she was "used as a symbol." The mother of a US soldier killed in Iraq, an anti-war activist, is getting national media attention for her vigil in Crawford; she has already met with Administration officials but hopes to meet with Bush.First, if it is a time to pile on, it's long, long overdue. I guess it took Hackett and Sheehan AND 61% of their fellow Americans to prove it.
