First, you can't take it issue by issue, candidate by candidate. Because that's how you miss the big picture of what's really going on with the country as a whole.

It has something to do with your last sentence, that makes no sense. Turning against a war based on lies? Hackett "picked up on that" by supporting Fallujah and winning in Iraq? Makes no sense. And just what does "picked up on that" mean, he just threw out "chickenhawk" to score points?

You can't say we've got a blue print from a local candidate who supports winning in Iraq, when that same candidate would be blown all to hell by the DEMS in a national campaign.

There's some answers in Hackett's win, but chickenhawk isn't one of them. He did get away with it because he's a vet, and has such a boyish face, and was a local with a middle of the road reputation.
